June 19th, 2004 Fixed a bug in the meeting search display that resulted in incorrect map references.
June 19th, 2004 Improved the way the breadcrumbs are displayed for meeting searches.

February 29th, 2004 Updated the Meeting List Search Index Page to ensure better W3C compliance.
March 1st, 2004 Bit of work on the Cleantime Calculator page to improve compliance. NOTE: Because of the JavaScript in this page, we cannot achieve complete W3C compliance, but it seems to work on all tested browsers. We can rewrite it in PHP, but that's a lot of work for little to no gain.

January 22nd, 2004 Changed this page, so that the "Still Left to Do" table is at the top.
January 21st, 2004 Made a change to the "Printer-Friendly/Tab-Delimited" output of the Meeting List Search, so that only format codes for those meetings resulting from the search are displayed. This cuts down the size of the printout for most searches.

January 13th, 2004 Made many changes to the basic structure of the site in order to ensure compatibility with older browsers. This makes the site somewhat more difficult to change, but is probably necessary.
