Key participants of the Helix DNA Client,

Per my earlier email, we are now officially moving though the 
planning process for the next gen Helix DNA Client.  We have outlined 
a process that has and still will require your much valued input and 
cooperation.  This email initiates step 3 - Call for your "Feature 
Proposals", which has a deadline of Nov 10th at 9pm PDT.

YOUR ACTION (Step 3) - Call for feature Proposals (what you will 
contribute to the product -- Eng, QA, Doc, etc. ):

If your Feature Request did not make the cut list of where Real is 
applying resources(see previous email), you can still have your 
feature be included within the product, but you will need to bring 
your own resources to bear.  We call this phase a "Call for Feature 
Proposal".  If you or your team is interested in submitting a feature 
proposal read on.  If not, no reply is requested from this 
email.  Please complete the following 7 items and return this form by 
Nov 10th at 9pm PDT:

1) Name of Feature Proposal: 
__________________________________________________________________

2) Description of Feature Proposal: 
___________________________________________________________________________________
    _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
   ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________

3) Verification platforms of Feature Proposal: 
___________   ___________  ___________   ___________  ___________   ___________

4) Development Work Estimate: _______________________________

5) QA Work Estimate: __________________________________

6) Number of Developers Assigned to Feature: ________

7) Number of QA Testers Assigned to Feature: _________

Note: Assume a schedule of a Feature complete version by July 31st 2007

Please email this completed form to rmathew at real.com by Nov 10th at 
9pm PDT.   Please do NOT copy the entire mailing list(s), but instead 
send the email directly to me, to keep the list traffic down.

Let me know if you have any questions, comments or concerns.
