Comments and Suggestions:

• Species Tree - the branches are not aligned. The team will look at rendering a different image.
• Gene Tree – is there a way to build a legend to show the meaning of the colors?
• Todd suggested showing the Fat Tree first then breaking down into smaller bits. It was also suggested to change the Fat Tree name to a version of Reconciled/Reconciliation
• Add the option of rendering in black and white or color.
• TV group will discuss with Sheldon what the priorities are for the next step.
• Goal is limited release by early November 2010.
