Kathy and I will stand by until Andrew comes on board. We would like to
meet with the team early on, so that we can figure out what usability
activities, complementing Heather's efforts, fit into the development
schedule.
Kathy will be out on Aug. 14-15, and I will be out Aug. 15-18; otherwise,
we'll be around.
Is there a project notebook at this time that we could look at?
