Re: Follow up from the meeting on Issue 14: timeouts

David,

I think Gregg was talking about this:

2.       *Save Data 24 Hours*: For each instance where user-entered data
can be lost due to a time out, the user is given the option to preserve the
data for at least 24 hours.

But I was not pushing for that, I was pushing for the first one about
advance notice of time limit.

I too have seen the advanced notice of a specified time limit in the wild,
more than once.
