Starting small sounds like a good idea. I'm not so sure about trying to "lock things down" before moving on. I don't think that will be possible in any meaningful way. The problem with trying to lock things down is that the design team are refining the design as they go. If something isn't working they change it. I will be happy to be proved wrong about this but I have a feeling that too much attention to detail will get us bogged down. andrew -- Gemini: (May 21 - June 21) Americans from coast to coast will be transfixed by your new signature dance, the Oh My God, Get It Off Me, Sweet Jesus, It Burns.
