Hi NIRites! OK, at the risk of rotten tomato flinging, here is what I was thinking of as a simple checklist, quick-glance matrix we might consider including in the NIR Report. I think that for each tool, such a checklist would be good if it concentrated on answering only the questions: What's it good at? and What's it available in? For "what's it good at?", I thought the taxonomy info referenced in the report would be ideal, so I used those terms. They also coincided with the terms Jill had written in Amsterdam that I found in my notes. Unfortunately, I'm not totally sure what they mean! And even if I knew what they meant, I'm not sure I would fill them in correctly. So, you'll notice that I left that part blank until I get a little more info. I also left blank the part about what types of info (text, pictures, etc.) are accessible via the tools. That I did partly, again, so I wouldn't have to figure it out (although that wouldn't be too difficult), but more because I was not sure we wanted that item included in the matrix. Then I just put down the client and server platforms. Now, if I did this wrong, it's because I'm ignorant. Please do send corrections here. I tried to follow the report as closely as possible, but I just wanted platforms, not actual implementations, if you get what I mean. Well, with all that preamble....here it is. There were several people who volunteered to help with this last time. Maybe they in particular can start tearing this apart/filling it in/correcting/etc.? But anyone who wants to fix it, please, please do. thanks, April ---------------------------------------------------------------------- alex archie gopher Hytelnet 1.
