RE: Results of Questionnaire Survey vs. iTunes and QT

I very much like your sentence below:

"Complexity is less an issue than looking for what described content will be
around and what content will users want to access."

But, also our charter mentions "...a simple ontology...", hence we should
also make sure how to make this complexity less simultaneously...:-)

Anyway, good comments and thanks.
