Date: Mon, 11 Mar 2002 19:22:32 -0500 From: Chair Subject: March 19, 2002 FrontPage User Group Event I wanted to remind everyone that the March FrontPage User Group meeting will take place as scheduled on March 19 at 6:30 PM. Based on some of the feedback received, we are going to take a new approach this time. Many of you indicated a desire to share and learn more about the experiences of one another. The March meeting is going to be dedicated to group discussions on various issues germane to the FrontPage user group needs and experiences. Please bring with you a one page summary of either a problem you (or your company) are having, or an expertise you have that you feel could be of value to other users. We will take these sheets and go over them with the group. The topics can cover web authoring and related issues, including any business related issues in using and deploying web sites. Some of the issues we will also discuss on a group level are: Is there a ^Óbusiness-pain^Ô that you have, or a problem you are trying to solve? Is it a web-based application you are trying to deploy or do you see yourself doing regular web sites more often? Do you have any issue with the server-based languages that are emerging, i.e. ASP. JSP, ColdFusion, Perl? Do you feel content or need to continue to lean these new technologies to maintain your competitive edge? Do you feel web site design or authoring is starting to be more challenging or technically demanding than before? Have you been working with FrontPage 2002? If so, what issues do you have with it? Are there features you may have wanted it to include? We^Òd like to invite all of you to come and participate in this event. Be ready to share your thoughts. Other user questions that you can bring some answers to are: a) ^ÓI would like to see a discussion of the useless formatting information added to web pages generated by Microsoft Office when it generates a web page.^Ô By Jack Pugh Thanks, And hope you can make it.
