[Utr] UTR Project Plan - Technology Management

[doerksen at island.net]

I would've enjoyed seeing what they've done with the Ithra database  
and interface, even if we don't use the structure of either one.

As I've said before, I do have database and interface preferences, but  
I'm open for discussion; the short chat I had with Alicia this morning  
(Sunday, Cragmere Armada) reminded me of some data fields we need  
included. (We who get into database-interface talks: let's start  
sketching out what we need to see.)

My goal is communication at all levels (I think I've said this before,  
too, so I'll skip the details).

More later. I'm still slort of sheep.
