Emcomms Trailer - Philosophy

                  Some considerations - Project Flow

 - Selection of development team
        Dave     - will assist
        Tom      - will assist
        Lawrence - will assist
        Sid      - will assist
        ????     -

 - Document in HTML as it can display most electronic formats we likely need

   - Permits 'tree linked' pages so that no single page becomes too complex

   - Accepts many graphic formats, even handsketches, scanned into the system
   - - scanned image file - hand drawn images - a 3" x 5" file displays well
   - - Cad files          - Submit as a screen capture, GIF or JPG
   - - Photographs        - Submit as JPG
   - - Documents          - Submit as PDF files

   - Automatically builds the trailer documentation package

 - Publish on VE7DMN's or Frank's server as not directly, a 'MIRA' matter
   17 Jul - Found out how to FTP to Frank's server, so that should be OK
   if Frank's host allocates sufficient web space.

 - Must await delivery of trailer to see what we actually get!


 - Provide a clear process for planning and installing assemblies to the trailer
   ( See 'Status' below )
