Subject: MWS 13th of June  2001 (#61) Nadmin Studio 1.4: Nemein, Everscreen and Motiva
Date:	 Thu, 14 Jun 2001 03:57:27 -0500

Greetings!

This is not the MWS I had hoped to send out this week but I want to get back
on schedule and there is good news for this week. I am still working on the
case study concept and have gotten great information from Aurora and Daniel
Reichenbach. I am still working on a few more candidates to get that one
last study. While I am still convinced of the value of doing a series of
case studies I am interested in what form people think these should take. I
am taking a quick vacation next week and will take my laptop along to spend
some quality time on a case study form.

This week brings exciting news about HKLC’s Nadmin interface for Midgard. If
you have not taken the time to look through the HKLC website in it is worth
a look.

Nemein also has a great announcement concerning a new working relationship
to build web services for a high profile organization in Finland.
