Based on today's Help Desk staff meeting, here is an updated schedule.  The
major changes include:

-  Delayed Tue Oct 15 "statement of record" release date

-  Wed Oct 16 - Release 1.0 completed, acceptance testing completed, results
                sent to Bill Hogue with recommendation.  Acceptance testing
                is designed to identify critical issues (e.g. show stoppers)
                that would preclude consultants from doing work as outlined
                in the release 1.0 functional specification.

-  Thu Oct 17 - Help Desk staff review recommendation

-  Fri Oct 18 - 5:00 pm - Possible date for release 1.0 rollout
