Subject: Seasonal check-in

Thanks to those who replied to my post regarding the problems with our
quarterly seasonal titles.  One respondent asked me to share with the
list and I'll summarize what I have learned.

The consensus is that seasonal check-in is "virtually useless".  All
those who responded simply check the issues in with v:n and an arbitrary
month to indicate the season.  And after much thought, I think that's
what we'll do, too.

Next month we're having vendors give demos and DRA will show us TAOS.
It will be interesting to see if seasonal check-in works on their new
product.

Happy Monday!!

Mary
