Outstanding work! Now, what I would like to see is a mocked up "class"
page that would suggest ways in which we would organize these notes with
the actual presentation. As a first pass, I would suggest going to the
syllabus I have set up for my CS 2390 class and create independent streams
of information for the course. Something like the following:

Topic Presentation Lecturer's notes My notes

Sales <pointer to prepared <pointer to lecturer's <pointer to my
notes> notes in class> notes in class>

An additional column would be the audio/video feed.

Then we can start to think about how we personalize the class page for
everyone.

Nick, please work with Sue and Yusuf to provide your notes which are
superimposed on top of the presentation.

I would like all of this Web information to be accumulated in some central
locations, and it makes sense for it to be under the directory:

/net/www/fce/...

To write to this directory, you need to be in the unix group 'fce'. I will
make sure that happens soon.

Take care,
Gregory
