Thanks Jordan - I'm sorry, you had already forwarded that to the
Board, I just hadn't joined the dots.

In the absence of this functionality in Xero, we still need a handle
on what our project management resources are in 2010/2011 to pay this
person. If I haven't heard back from Rufus on this point by the end of
the week, I'll grab him on the phone.

Cheers

Becky
