This installment of Web Sightings includes several new or updated sites related to MIT's reengineering project.
The MIT Reengineering home page is sporting a new look. There are brief summaries of some recent accomplishments of reengineering teams and a selection of goals expected to be reached in the near future. Many of these items are linked to more detailed information written by the teams involved or to Web versions of relevant Tech Talk articles. The directory of MIT reengineers has been transformed into a Web document with a table of contents and links to team home pages.<http://web.mit.edu/reeng/www/>

MIT personnel can be informed when the newest newsletter has been put on-line by sending e-mail to <sneakprev@mit.edu>.<http://web.mit.edu/reeng/www/sapnews/>
