Section 2 has nothing about Gathering Requirements
Section 2 of this page is : Requirements Gathering and Mapping The first link in that section is: Best Practices for Requirements Gathering There is NOTHING in that link about Requirements Gathering. I would like to learn a lot more about eliciting and gathering requirements. I thought this would be a good place to start, but no. You should consider creating such a page. Thanks, Bob Young

Create Podcast versions?
It would be nice to be able to download these as podcasts and view them off-line. Could the be made available using your podcast section? http://www.ni.com/podcast/ http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&message.id=329863
