Hi everyone. Here's another set of meeting notes from the "Better late than never" department!

Thanks to the following people for attending the last meeting of HTML2000.

Sarah Nachmias - SAS
Jennifer Yuan - School of Medicine

Here are some general notes from the meeting.

- Joe did confirm that there are demo versions available for all of the software packages we will be reviewing. Links for all are on the web site under the table of products to be reviewed. He is also going to contact Adobe to request a copy of the latest and greatest GoLive (pre release) which is slated for release this summer. Details on the results of this coming soon.

- We reviewed the list of criteria and definitions, made a few changes and are going to post them in the matrix of test criteria.

- We made a major decision on our process. We will evaluate by team. Each team will evaluate one product. Each team will be made up of four people. There will be at least one person representing each of the following three "user types"

-A person who develops for the web regularly but has never used a WYSIWYG product.
-A person who develops for the web regularly but has never the product being tested.
-A person who is familiar with the product being tested.

This is the matrix of testers and products:

Product	Tester 1	Tester 2	Tester 3	Tester 4
Adobe Go Live	Felice Macera	Brett Bonfield	Joe Harris	Celeste Stewart
Macromedia Dreamweaver	Andy Diller	Vasu Renganathan	Darlene Jones	Celeste Stewart

4/27	Run tests
5/4*	Compile data and write presentation
5/11*	Finish presentation.
