• Produce annual update disks that contain at least 100 new entries;
• Coordinate a group of AskARIES users who will create new entries on publications they find relevant;
• Replace Notebook II with a new interface that is more intuitive and easier;
• Replace Notebook II with an add- on program to Lotus Agenda that includes AskARIES and annual updates;
• Publish the full text of all AskARIES articles on a CD-ROM disk;
• Produce an annual catalog of annotated bibliographies of articles dealing with small enterprise development;
