<pre wrap="">Thanks Anthony,
we don't underestimate the problem -it's just that it's been presented
to us as a dictat- as has the timescale. So we need try and get up to
speed quickly, ideally within a couple of months. For the moment some of
our other work has been turned away to give us time to learn and
fortunately people seem pretty motivated so we need to make the most of
that.
Thanks for the reading list, very helpful, I'll pass it on to the rest
of the team. we have some of the books and will get hold of the others.
Cheers,
Jeremy
