Roger & Corey,

Here are the deadlines for summer if we use the same timeline as the latest few issues. Tell me if anything looks wrong, but I think we'll be OK with this schedule?partly because we've already got about half of the issue figured out.

My hunch is the challenge this time will be getting the responses for the profiles, and assembling the menu of services?deciding what to put in the menu, how to describe it, and how to design it.

I've also put a copy in the ITT summer 2007 folder in the IT Times folder on the shared drive,

Bill
