 User Interface:

 A presentation was made to PARC staff reviewing the recent workshop on "Desktop
 Concepts and Display Windows." Also presented were the results of a recently conducted
 "display characteristics" survey. The results of this will be incorporated into a memo on
 displays to be released in the near future.

 The followup visit to the legal firm in San Francisco has not yet taken place. We are
 awaiting permission from the firm. We are also making arrangements to visit some
 technical publication departments.

 We have been conducting intensive, regularly-scheduled meetings with Charles Simonyi,
 discussing user interface ideas and problem areas.

 A sneak preview of the Diamond User Interface Specification was released within SD for
 internal review of direction before things get too solid. Four major areas were discussed: a)
 text selection and editing, b) graphics, c) formatting and layout, and d) document creation,
 filing, distributing, and printing. A more polished release will be made sometime within
 the next month or so. We are also carefully tracking and reviewing the requirements
 document being written by the Applications Software Group. To a very large extent, our
 work seems to be in agreement.

 Betty Burr has officially accepted our offer and is expected to join our User Interface
 Group half time on 1 March going to full time on 1 April.

. Data Management:
 Data management activity is being focused on streams and document interfaces and on the
 format of directories. We also expect to participate in an upcoming series of meetings on
 the Pilot file system. In addition, we are making arrangements to help Ron Rider and Bob
 Sproull specify an improvement on the current Press fi Ie format for use with printing
 engines.

 Peter Bishop is expected to join our data management group in the second quarter, when he
 finishes his disertation. The exact status of his situation is somewhat unclear, however.
 'vVe are also talking with Richard Moore (of PARe) about joining our group.
