Hi Julie,

I saw the files; they'll be helpful.  The use cases will be particularly 
helpful in getting the UI designed correctly.

The RSS file is a little daunting.  It looks like it will take a bit of doing 
to extract all the various bits of information that are packed in the 
<description> tag with the <item>

      Thanks, Jim. Related to that, the UI/Core group has a directory in the 
TSSG 'Files --> Android Project' area called 'Core' that contains some files 
we're working with. One is 'RSSitems.rtf' and contains some of the <item> 
elements in a feed from a few days ago.

      The 'items' are raw RSS, so some components are not immediately 
recognizeable, but it's good to know that &gt; means the > character and &lt; 
means the < character. These would have named tags (e.g. class, div)  between 
them. Tag content is then beween a <tag> </tag> pair.

        I found this a helpful and concise description of the RSS standard.  It 
helps if you're conversant in XML

        Look at the descriptions of what you can put in the <description> part 
of the <item> element.
