We are now at a stage where we have gone through the whole system and specified user stories. We have planned the first iteration. Now how do we display the...

Hmm. I have the courage to improve others, but not myself. Oh well, 1 out of 2 ain't bad. ;) Cheers, Ryan On 30 Mar 2007 17:25:28 -0700, Kelly Anderson...
