AW: Fwd: Additional Point/Question: problem centered / page centered evaluation

Hi Detlev, TF,

as we haven't discusses the important points in this mail on that Thursday I
suggest to discuss the first six points in separate e-mail threads to avoid
confusion with the discussion on problem centered / page centered.

Regards

Kerstin
