Nobody had any objections to the draft, so the draft becomes the real one. There are still some unspecified dates for the far distant future in the draft. I'll unilaterally decide those: Vendor liaison begins January 1st 2001 with the alpha release. We work with vendors and begin the porting process. Vendor liaison doesn't end. The beta release ends with the final release. The final release will be on (he picks a date approx. 18 months from the start of the project) 1 January 2002. Remember, the further into the future one peers, the less reliable the crystal ball is. So I fully expect these dates to be changed as we get further along the process. Hopefully they'll be moved forward. NatThread Previous | Thread Next
