1 week delay in topic availability and search submision due date

[Paul Over <over@nist.gov>]

Hi,

We need to spend more time here on topic creation.

I think the schedule can stand a delay of one week in the 
topic availability date and a corresponding delay of one
week in the due date for search task submissions. Other
dates would remain unchanged.

Even with the extra time, we will likely have less than
the 50 topics we were aiming for. Maybe 25 or 30. It's 
slow going.

Sorry for the late change in plans. I know it may cause
problems for groups doing interactive runs. I hope that 
at least for some groups, the extra development time and 
time to examine and play with other groups' features will 
turn out to be an advantage.
