GKIS is currently planning a whole line of offerings. I think that the corporate planning is much more focused since Canion joined the firm. He has brought in a number of new programmers and is establishing an infrastructure that will allow them to meet demand if and when it occurs. Mu understanding is that a number of new projects are being pursued and old ones being rejuvenated.

If that sounds rather basic, keep in mind, that prior to Canion, the company was always in a cash bind and had to seek financing rather than develop product. They had an ill fated training product that was designed for IBM mini-computer (AS-300? or something like that). At the time, the lead sales people were all former IBMers but that deal fell apart for some reasons that related to the specs provided. I believe the technology worked.

In addition, GKIS had been named a flagship UN technology. I have met Dr. Ben-Dak and he is a well informed and well travelled individual. I think the UN project will be pursued but will be more slow moving.
In sum, I think the company plans to focus on consumer related training titles with the Around the Web product simply being the first offering.

By the way, I used only 8 modules and did learn a few secrets. I am an active used of the Internet but am not technologically oriented by nature or background. I think many people could use this course and it would seem to be a natural product for 'bundling'. This is my opinion and does not reflect the thinking of the company.

Finally, I will say that over the development of the GKIS concepts the last 5 years, I have always found Gary Kimmons and his staff to be straightforward and honest in their assessment of the company's progress and prospects.
