Any big successes or highlights from the group? Any tangible outputs/work products? The number of servers and clients supporting ESIP Federated Search continued to increase.
  2. How did you record these activities (wiki, on another collaboration site, list-serv or private e-mail, no record)? Activities were recorded on the wiki, albeit sporadically.
