Netscapes direction is and we need to be able to convince the web that this is
good thing Just like everybody else
Well Daves Key thing was that was very vague and we do not say
These are two different points theres source road map and Daves talking about
the 4x road map
Correct
Two different thing
And those are two different thing...we need source road map internally but
I...Netscape wouldnt want to announce the 4x road map
Thats what Im saying
Because we have that laid out already
Right we have...
mean do you think its getting scary to try and do this balancing act for
everything lets keep it simple keep it separate Weve got source code weve got
weve got 4.x never let the lines cross Keep it simple
Right and we have that he just says in my messages he doesnt see that we have
dear road map for at least our products and Im saying that we do We say that
were going to continue to do product on the code base on the current code base
while were doing parallel development of Net code
This is.1 .1 agree
with you 100% Theres road map right and we have that but
hat should not be part of this its not source announcement mean we have
road map well be developing our current 40 code base that doesnt mean we
should announce 40 41s here 5s here and 07 is gonna be here
Thats precisely what Im saying and what also told Dave is if were worried hes
like well we need to be very clear said no we never announced how far in

mix it up with the source code release will will give them a-rthrdirectiOn of
whats in the code because we have to provided
were ahead of the fame we dont
want people to build the product and say oh theres this interesting new interface
we want to you we want to cut to the chase and get ahead of it but dont want to
lay out we have 41 coming out we have 405 coming out.. until were ready
think were all in agreement think Daves the only one saying want to see
clear road map..
So oclock well get together well beat up Dave and well be done
OK Daves coming to the meeting
Yes hes the one who wanted to call that meeting
general conversation
And then we need to talk to some extent about what this stuff is and thats
almost like sub-announcement right because if we haul that into this whole
source announcement were saying OK source release components aurora aurora
positioning aurora screen and shot...and it just get you get
into this long sting
thats really hard to comprehend so putting
in two short ones OK source
announcement release components and the separate one is OK heres
aurora and heres what aurora means think the hard part is stringing those
together

just dont want people to think that were really releasing product if we..

Ml Its somewhere between better than the worst and not below my expectations
mean though we could have been lot closer than we ended up but it feels like
the wheels are moving rather than you know spinning in mud so you know
tomorrow we measure how true peoples statement were when they said oh yeah
Ill be done tomorrow so if that was basically true well be OK if that was
basically wasnt true then we need to find bigger hammers or more bodies or
something ut
