Here are some brief comments from my chat with Susan.
The security statement Ted wrote in the R-Ready days (predating our
current org structure) is fine with her. However, she has no plans
to formally adopt this statement nor update the ITAG printing Web page.
She said this was too far down on her list to bother with. I suggested
it would have been nice for her or Jeff to indicate this when the
discussions began over 20 months ago. Case closed.
She was unaware of the way KLPR for Windows would not do the hesiod(?)
db query upon every execution of the command. She said this was lower
level information than she usually tracks. She suggested we ping Tom
Thornton (Mr Pismere) if we feel this is a real issue.
Her concerns and issues re Mac dev work we heard from Theresa were
based upon limited Mac dev resources in IS and the fact that it was
felt that few Mac users would be taking advantage of the IPM client
and service. She felt that Mac developer resources would be better
utilized on code which would end up on more MIT Mac desktops (biggest
bang for the buck basically).
Susan would clearly prefer the use of Apache over Lotus Domino but
did not say it was mandatory. Given the estimated additional cost,
this seems like a no-brainer decision. Let's proceed with Apache.
