with web developer Pierson Lee (Email: pie@prayersforrain.com)

The splash page (where you first arrive on the web site) features
the Landor brand globe exploding with the little star
characters.  Pierson hasn't been able to get this to work
yet, but he'll check with Landor about it.

NEXT STEPS:

1.  Pierson will get the design working with Landor's help and
put up the basic framework.

2.  Karen will work on (2) content

3.  Paul will work on (2) UW connections; and (3) links and
intro text

4.  Chris will work on (1) Questions and Answers and (4) Latona

5.  Michele will work on links for (5) (plus Andrea's piece needs to
go to Pierson)

Note:  Susan Miller from SAFECO is now managing the Tech
Writing Dept. (where they do website development).  She has
offered to have us meet with one of their best web designers to
help us with "usability testing" (making sure that what we put
on here an how we organize it really will work for people).

We didn't agree on a timeline, but depending on how quickly
Pierson can get the basic site up and running, I would 
suggest that we try to demo it at the Nov. 1 Intl School meeting
at Lincoln.  (It doesn't have to be a live demo - we can
run it off a laptop.)
