Hi all,

Jon Fiscus sent this message a month ago, and I notice that the first three
dates on the schedule
have already passed by with no further announcements of availability of
evaluation plans,
or any distribution of new data, that I am aware of. The fourth milestone
date on the schedule is this Friday.

Now the LDC TDT mail archives
(http://www.ldc.upenn.edu/Projects/TDT3/email/index.html) have no mail
after January 13th 2000, and I was out of the loop in New Zealand the past
few months, but Dave Graff assured me that the only significant item sent
since then was Jon Fiscus's post.
So the question is "What's up with this schedule?"

Cheers,
Paul
