For the future, how can we make these decisions in a more timely manner, so
that individuals, departments and training programs have input into the
decision-making process?  As some of you may know, Training & Development
purchased Frontpage  last spring and we have been offering courses in that
since June.  It would be very helpful to my program and the faculty and
staff who take courses here if this decision had been made 8 or 9 months
ago when I was investigating the best route to go.  (For what it's worth,
when I was investigating this topic, Web designers and other businesses who
used Web publishing software in the Burlington area all recommended
Frontpage.)  Because we have to plan our curriculum at least 6 months in
advance  and new curriculum sometimes means new software purchases  I would
like some suggestions as to how we can better coordinate across the campus
on important decisions like this.  Thank you.  Lynn
