O.K., I cheated - I spent more time yesterday sanding the wood (solid Oak, really nice) for a new light hood for my big aquarium than I did on the computer, but it WAS such a lovely summer day here that I couldn't resist. But, I have managed to get up another "rough draft" onto the web-site. It is accessed via a link on the home page (Proposal - URL: http://www.interlog.com/~jpurch/webs/aga-contest/Draft1.htm). You may have to clear your cache in order to get the latest version of the home page. Right now, you will discover only a list of "points". This makes it easier to track and ensure that everything has been covered. There are 9 appendices (!!!) which cover all of the "details". These appendices will probably remain largely unchanged in the final proposal, except for minor editing. For right now, I just want to make sure that I haven't forgotten anything and/or made any errors in the points I list. Please take the time to review the material and make notes of anything with you feel should be changed. It has been noted several times that a lot of you don't speak up unless something is wrong or you disagree with something. For this stage - it is important that EVERYONE chimes in - if it is OK, say so. The next stage, the actual proposal writing, is going to take too much effort for me to do it without hearing EVERYONE's opinion.
