To answer the easy questions first:

>Can we get together again before [the week of 11 September] to go over
>Beland's test?  I would at some point like to "beta" test it.

Yes, definitely.  Perhaps we could do this in a place where there's an
Athena machine, so we could do a live run-through while it's under
discussion.  (I definitely agree about using the Dell platform, BTW.)

>Beland, one thing to try to do is to purge as much Athena language as
>possible from the test and just talk 'mer'can.

I'll take care of this unless Beland (who's dealing with a lot of random
stuff right now) would particularly rather.

>Andrew, have you lost your gang at this point or do you still have a team?

Most or all will still be available to varying degrees for AUI work come
the start of classes.  I will also be working on the code, at least in
theory, but between dealing with administrative settling-in miscellany,
other projects, and being nonfunctional for most of this week (I was in a
bit of an accident on Tuesday), I've haven't looked at it in many months,
which by GNOME standards means I'm stuck in the dark ages...
