[rcml-devel] Good work!

[John B. <jx...@ga...>]

Group,

  It looks like things are going well.  I've heard from both subgroups
this evening, and the facts are encouraging.  I'm looking forward to a
good meeting tomorrow night with good results for each side to show to
the other.

  I'd like tomorrow's meeting to include a review of group II's design
for increment 2.  The design will consist of a class diagram and
pseudocode for the act of translating an Archive instance to XML and
vice versa.  This review will last about 30 minutes.  The purpose will
be to find faults; group II will benefit from this before they start
their coding.

  I'm also planning on including another tutorial.  This seemed to go
over well last time and I think it helped provide a better grasp about
how to tackle what was ahead.

  Tonight I will be updating the web schedule
(http://rcml.sourceforge.net/sched.html), preparing a more detailed
agenda for tomorrow's meeting, and researching a small topic for group
II (how to specify the DTD for a DOM_Document).  Let me know if
there's anything else you need from me.

  I intend to keep my session to gamma up as long as I am awake;
contacting me with the talk or write commands would be a good way to
get in touch with me.  I won't be accessible by phone.  As always,
email is good, too.  Let me know any questions you have or anything
else you need.

  I also would like to let everyone know that I invite any feedback
you might have for me.  You can always feel free to email me
individually, and I will do my best to be responsive to your comments
or concerns.  If you'd rather let me know something anonymously, I
won't be offended if you go sign up for a free account at hotmail or
something and send me an anonymous email.  Remember, as Levine said,
bad news is always better than no news.

  Have a good night and keep up the good work.  Thanks for working so
hard.
