i think before we get to far ahead of ourselves we should divide up the 
examples so we can work without stepping on each others toes. if there are 
no objections i'll use the manifest list to evenly divide up those scenes 
into managable chunks. i think a good first pass would be to try to render 
the scenes and see what goes without any changes. fails/warnings/problems 
lets just make notes and move on to the next scene. i think this will pare 
down the list and help use identify the problem scenes. as for debugging i 
agree with Sabrina that we should be able work through most problems amoung 
ourselves. if not, i'm sure that others in the users community will be able 
to bail us out. i'll wait a bit for any comments before proceeding in case 
either of you have a better idea how to go forward.

Jim
