to-do-list version 2.


Hi all,

This one includes all comments received until noon today.  

Please read it.

* For items with your name behind them, please check if the deadline is
  still realistic. If not, please provide me with a REALISTIC deadline
  taking into account all other work on your desk as well as meetings,
  travel, vacations, overhead, other things that have to be finished
  first, etc.

* For items without a name behind them, think about if you are interested
  in them.  If so, let me know.

What I want to do next Monday, is to make sure that we know when work in
progress is finished and what we'll do next.

Henk
