Weekly Planning Meeting, 5/02

[Marc Stiegler <marcs>]

Highlights 4/24:

The big congratulations this week go to dean and joel and sue. 
Dean has 2D regions working (and he added double-click to fm 
in his spare time). Meanwhile, joel and sue have finished, really 
completely finished, the next info packet: it's in the print 
shop now, and soon a thousand copies will be roaming the planet's 
surface. 

Meetings: Hugh, dean, fm on the mac. Roger, hugh, reproducible 
Tapestry tests. Marcs, paul, good journals on hypertext. Michael, 
wjr, pull file off exobyte. Rick, ravi, friday at noon, the backend 
in C++. Hugh, michael, finding changes in smalltalk. Markm, rick, 
marcs, discuss the capture of randy smith.
