Hi Steve!

Trying to track down "Why is Mona Lisa Smiling". Thinkquest has not allowed access since their switch last fall.

http://library.thinkquest.org/13681/data/davin2.shtml>
I have been able to access it a few times since Xmas at http://hyperion.advanced.org/13681/data/davin2.shtml but that link just "hangs" now.

Do you have any suggestions.

Hi Steve,

We're currently working on returning "Why is Mona Lisa Smiling" to the ThinkQuest Library. One of the things we need to do is make sure that the site does not include the last names of any underage students. It would help us enormously if you could send a list of the names of the student team members.

Thank you!

-Amanda

Dear Amanda,
I am absolutely delighted to hear that Why is Mona Lisa Smiling? will be returning to the ThinkQuest Library.

The names of the student team members are Khoa, William and Alexander.

On behalf of my students, thank you for your continuing support. We are looking forward to the re-launch of our project.

Very best regards,
Steve Feld
Head Coach

Hi Steve,

I really must apologize for the delay in returning "Why is Mona Lisa Smiling?" to the ThinkQuest Library. This particular site is one of 190 that are requiring some special server changes in order to become functional again. Our systems people are working on the issue right now and because of the popularity of "Why is Mona Lisa Smiling?", your site is being used as the test case for the project. I apologize again for how long this is taking, but I promise that we are actively trying to resolve this issue and hope to have a solution shortly.

-Amanda

Hi Steve,

I apologize for the delayed response...we are severely strapped for resources and just recently contracted out some work with the candidate leaving us to go back to school. We are attempting to address these issues IN FULL beginning next week and have marked your issue on the top of the list. I'd like to sincerely apologize - it's been a difficult transition for us and not an easy handoff from ThinkQuest's previous owners who provided us no documentation both technically and operationally. We are doing our best to address ALL issues as best as possible. I will confirm with you once I have a hard date of when and what we will be doing. Thanks again. --

Dear Maya,

It has been a full month now since you wrote that my inquiry would be discussed at your meeting. Was the status of the Mona Lisa website indeed discussed? If so what were the results?

I look forward your response and to seeing the web site again.

Best regards,
