[seul-edu] The intent of these ISO messages

[Doug Loss <drloss@suscom.net>]

I think I should explain just what I'm doing with the many messages I've 
been sending to this list in the past few days.  I've decided to contact 
the maintainers of every application in our Index that isn't obviously 
dead and ask them if they know of their apps being currently used in at 
least one school.  It the answer is yes, then that app goes on the Phase 
2 completion list <http://www.seul.org/edu/Phase2.txt>.  If the answer 
is either no or I don't know, that doesn't preclude the app from getting 
on the Phase 2 list; it just means that we'll have to examine it and do 
the eval ourselves.  This is a way of cutting down the workload we'll 
have to do (and of increasing the visibility of the ISO project, too), 
but it won't eliminate the need for us to do any evals.

I've finished contacting everyone in the Administrative category.  Let's 
give it a day or so, then I'll list all the apps that still need 
evaluating.  I'd like to be able to say that someone has looked at each 
app there, and to be finished with the Administrative category (except 
for new entries as they're added), by the middle of June.  Some of those 
apps that we'll need to eval will probably fail a Phase 1 eval, so we 
may have only a relatively few to actually install and test.  Let's see 
if we can close the book on at least one major category!
