James: Below are my comments regarding the questions you posed: 1. MS Windows and MacOS should be enough. If the other five percent, or so, operating systems can be accommodated without too much trouble, I would say go for it. However, if it will involve a lot of time and effort, I say stick with the big boys. 2. I would say go with 800 X600 . 3. 24-bit with a note. 4. Go with the standard practices. 5. The fonts on the mock website are the same for me as the MS website. I am running Win98 and MSIE5.01. 6. I think the mock website is simple, but nice looking. I would say that we use that as a prototype. 7. I would agree that it may be a decent time to go ahead with something a little more substantive on the APD. Asking for more volunteers would also be appropriate. I might add that the websites that were recently posted on the APD re: Dutch aquariums were very interesting. While I was looking at the posted photographs, I kept asking myself, "Who are these people and why aren't they involved in our project?" It sure would be nice to have some of them onboard.
