The problems surrounding the legal review that Steve posted about has probably caused a bit of a hiccup on that timeline but if it's possible to speed up later events we should. Better communication on the matter is something we are all working at :-) Cheers Andy >Bye >Frederik > >-- >Frederik Ramm ## eMail [EMAIL PROTECTED] ## N49°00'09" E008°23'33" > >___ >legal-talk mailing list >legal-talk@openstreetmap.org >http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/legal-talk > >No virus found in this incoming message. >Checked by AVG - http://www.avg.com >Version: 8.0.173 / Virus Database: 270.8.0/1724 - Release Date: 14/10/2008 >2:02 AM ___ legal-talk mailing list legal-talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/legal-talk

Let's just say that I am pretty much done on the Brief and Use Cases, and SteveC has confirmed that he is meeting the new lawyer pretty soon and he also mentioned that he will be using Use Cases in his brief to the lawyer (and hopefully something like the proposed Brief as well but he hasn't confirmed that to me or the list) and so it would be good to have any concerns about the proposed User Cases raised before that un-specified date. My experience is that setting a 'deadline' is a good way to get feedback, even if the deadline it actually turns out not to be a deadline. Without knowing what the actual date is (and I don't think SteveC knows that yet) I suggest we work to our own timetable. If anyone wants to suggest a better cut-off date then fire away, possibly Monday would give people more time to respond because clearly no one is going to be talking to lawyers over the weekend (that's really expensive!). Let's not just let time slip by. As the saying goes 'Q: How did this project get a year late? A: One day at a time sir!)
