Novell and XForms Interesting.  Novell has posted ambitious plans to support the new W3C XForms standard.  When you go to Novell's XForms site, you are redirected to Silverstream which was purchased by Novell earlier this year.  I guess this means that Novell is committed to XML?  I would have liked to see something happen with their XIS project which presented an excellent vision for integrating XML into the enterprise. 3:54:32 PM

GSA Auctions GSA provides an online auction service for federal property.  New on the system today in Utah is a '97 C2500 Chevy pickup.  They already have seven bids.  Although the business processes associated with the site still need some work, it is a useful tool.  The state has sold property that was not donated through our surplus property agency on the site.  One of the problems has to do with refunds.  GSA has refunded money to a buyer and deducted money from the state without providing information back to the state and without recovering the property.  I'm sure this will improve with time. 8:32:22 AM
