I've got a bunch of framework stuff done already so I'm not sure how much of a project that'd be. So I left it out of the project list. (Almost done--just need another day or so to work on it. Got a lot of classwork right now, though.) > > 3.

They're definitely not primary goals. We've been talking about reworking tools.Walk for years now and it's never been done. Why? I suspect it's because we know it has problems (which we trip over semi-regularly) but we don't really know what the requirements are. So the first project involves fleshing things out and going from there. At least, that's how I figured it. It less of a "write gobs of code" and more of an "analysis/design" project. /will ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
