[xmlWiki-developers] Re: hello - cs329

[abhishek y. b. <ay...@st...>]

Hello everyone,

I am a new student at UIC and this is my very first class. I am a firmware
engineer for Emerson Electic in Houston, TX. I believe Arnaldo, Abe, and
Radu are continuing on the XML wiki project from CS327. I'have taken a
look at the project briefly and the pointers you've provided to the
material for this project should definitely help. For our homework#1, i
suggest we split our team in such a way so that we have a returning person
on each group. When should we have our first meeting ?

Looking forward to working with all of you.

Regards
Abhi
