1.0 Introduction
Included below are the rough guesses to the projects and
timeframes. The current cutoff point for work is one month; projects
that are expected to take less than one month of work may not be
listed in the planning section.
The expectation is that each topic will have a link to a project
summary and thereby listed in the Projects
section. The cutoff for projects listed in this section is likely to
be different than for the plans.
The dates under which projects are listed is currently a general
placement. Some may start in that timeframe, some may finish by the
end of that timeframe. Specific project dates and deliverables should
be with the Project plan.
