Don -- thanks for that news update.

All --

As you might have noticed, this dialog started with a look at some updates to the CGMO home page:
http://www.cgmopen.org/

I put three new milestones at the top of the the left column ("Milestones"), to catch up with the last year's activity. (Comments or suggestions are welcome.)

Btw, I think we ought to roll the older Milestones onto a backup page, with a link from the bottom of the Milestones column on the home page, "More archived news items>". I'll work with the Webmaster to do this.

-Lofton.

Lofton,
On a side note, I attended a S1000D training class last week at the PTC/Arbotext
users meeting. I learned in the meeting that the US Army is implementing
S1000D (and WebCGM) and US Navy is beginning to. Still a few few whiners
in Navy camp saying "why didn't they pick SVG...".

It was encouraging that awarness of WebCGM in tech pubs community is growing.
