Glad to hear that you have picked a tool. That should speed our 
progress. Have you had a chance to think about my first attempt at the 
user segmentation. I think it is important that we give thought to who 
we expect will visit the web site and what they may expect from us.

Too many software web sites present information from the developer's 
point of view instead of giving the user's needs priority. We need to 
do better than that.

That sounds good. I look forward to seeing your ideas about what should 
be placed where. Please be sure that my copyright notice stays with the 
project management related materials you move over. I would not be able 
to justify adapting this information for use on the planner web site if 
it put the copyright at risk.
