RE: Summary of IT Online WG discussions thus far

Dear Syd
I have not had a chance yet to read through your summary in detail -
term is about to begin and the punters (i.e. students) are reappearing. 
However I picked up one thing that I found particularly interesting and
that is the idea of being able to display a crystal structure and at the
same the symmetry elements. This would be very informative and should be
feasible. A very neat idea and unique!

Mike

Subject: Summary of IT Online WG discussions thus far

I am conscious of the rapidly approaching congress and likelihood that
there will be diminishing time to spend on working group recommendations
as we get into the northern hemisphere summer. To gather my own thoughts
on this task I have reviewed what has been said thus far and drafted a
summary of the main points made. This is not a complete record of our
communications but I think that it captures the major issues and
suggestions. If you think any important points are missing please let me
know.

I hope the attached summary document will stimulate some additional
ideas and suggestions on ways to present IT data online. If it does not
I will have to assume that we done our collective best on this issue,
and I will work with Nicola to formulate some recommendations for
circulation and your approval.

I would appreciate a response to the attached summary, with your
preferred recommendations, by May 1st.

Many thanks
Syd
