Subject: Re: prototype
I would think we have enough code done for a VERY REASONABLE prototype and
we need to do the explanation and descriptions so the TA can have a clue.
I'm assuming that we (or, more I) would need to work on it between class
and the TA event.
David, I'd imagine if you have work this afternoon a code freeze isn't a
bad Idea. Then we can get the rest up to that level.
