Wiki Markup Instruction Plan - contains several projects. Among the most pressing are a repository of instructional materials and an assessment survey that needs to be completed by IAP for people to give users. Peter will review the plan and pull out other action items and put them on wiki. \[I believe we completed this already, didn't we? \-Lisa\]
