Also all the interfacing/usage things shouldn't go too much into details. Better to concentrate on the current situation, how to work with what is currently present, and ToDos. > > extensibility and difficulties > > Current obstacles and problems > > ideas how to solve them > > other plans > > what can be done in the near and not so near future > These topics are also all interesting and it may take a full day to > complete your lecture :) I know, the main problem is to sketch as much as possible to give an overview but do not get too technically detailed. This again can lead to a situation where an overview is done "in a few minutes", I'm exaggerating here of course. I don't want to end up with a presentation that lasts only 20 minutes, though I doubt I would, but just in case it did I'm looking for the spot of interest I could focus on if this happens. Just that I need to know such topic in advance, now that I'm preparing, and not only when I realize that I would need it.. > I have 3 questions: > 1.
