Re: [xmlWiki-developers] things to chew on before tomorrow night

[Radu D. <rd...@ly...>]

Arnaldo,

These are my thoughts for this evening meeting:
- configuring Tomcat(maybe Hugo can help us if he has any experience)
- get our accounts on Jim's box( in case we install Tomcat on his machine)

Thanks.

What I noticed on Monday was that no one sent any discussion topics before the meeting, but we all (self included) had things on our mind that we wanted to talk about once we got to the meeting.  Problem was, we didn't stay on any one topic, and didn't really get anywhere.  What I'm suggesting is this:
