[dtn-interest] Decisions, decisions...

[Jeffrey Elkner <[e-mail]>]

Hello again, Scott,

I'm sorry to be pestering you again, but we need to figure out what to
do to move this project forward.  Here is the situation:

- they are supposed to hand in data on the day we return from winter
break (January 3rd).

- Colin is able to get version 1 of the DTN software running (see
http://linus.yhspatriot.net/cs/at/students/Applegate_Colin/DTNSetup),
but version 2 does not work (see Colin's email below).

I had suggested to them that doing the experiment with the current
version of the software would be more useful to the project (though I
would be grateful for your thoughts on that), but they can't get it to
work.

Do you think we should push ahead trying to get the version 2 software
working, or would it make more sense to run the experiment with the
older version?

Thanks again for all your help!
