With the extra users, the site's stability is currently very poor. Version 4 is coming soon with a new metadata server extension, and Linux/winXP compatibility. * Report from meeting with John Sharrard ArcGIS 8.1.2 should be available soon, but wait! ArcGIS 8.2 to be available in a few weeks. We'll see which team's product we like better. Improvements include support for winXP, improved queries and datum management. Contact Sharon Clarke for more details on this. ArcGIS 8.3 is coming out this year, so if we don't like 8.2 ... ArcObjects to arrive with possible unix support. ArcMap will be capable of saving .avx files for use in ArcIMS. This will replace the author thingy. Also, there are several tech support level options at ESRI. Move up as your questions stump the technicians. * Upcoming Events/Meetings: Mid Willamette GIS meeting 2/26/02 in Albany City to host event.
