Hi,

During CHI'95 we identified the following possibilities for collaboration, and
action items.

Overall, I think that we identified a nice set of opportunities.

---------------------------
Brad (Amulet).

Brad, Noi and I talked about sharing the textual format for Amulet and
Mastermind. This means that files generated by the amulet tools would be
directly loadable into Mastermind. I think that Mastermind will use a
superset of the fields that Amulet needs, but that should be ok

Action items:
- Send to Brad the specification of the MTF files to see if he can use them.
- Give Brad a copy of the parser front end so that he can modify the backend
to generate Amulet objects.

---------------------------
Angel (Mecano)

Angel and I tlaked about the possibility of also sharing the MTF format.

Action items:
- Send Angel a specification of the ontology
- Pedro will go to Stanford at the end of May to compare notes with Angel.

----------------------------
Kieras

Talked to David and one of his grad students on the status of our
collaboration. Daivd will come to the "task meeting". Also talked about the
requirements that David has for querying the Mastermind run-time system (eg.
to find out where a button is on the screen).

Action items:
- We will send David description of model.
- David will send us a list of the questions that he expects to want to ask
from the run-time system.
