howdy everybody,

This email from Lawrence is a great segway into what I've been working on 
today.  I've been writing up the user scenario descriptions (yes, the 
ones I've been telling you about for months), and thinking about how PIW 
is going to distinguish itself from all these other plant databases.  
Although I've finished with the initial write-up, I'm sending it to Bear 
for edits before I send it to the group (just to make sure it makes 
sense).  In the meantime, please consider how PIW will differ from other 
databases...

Also, Richard mentioned that he was "A bit concerned that we haven't 
really sorted out meta-schema questions."  Are these questions related to 
the functional spec, and what do we need to do to answer them?

Good work everyone, and enjoy yer ducks Chad ;)

peace
*Stephanie

Most of these are mainstream projects and of obvious value; other 
specialized databases are
really interesting like rock garden plants, evergreens, etc.
