Re: ARB - restructuring tables from Level to POUR

I think the individual tables for each SC will also be helpful, good idea.

I do have a bit of concern that we may be re-creating the very 
information overload that we are trying to mediate.  Say my role is 
Front End developer, by the time I get to the third page of 
applicable SC detail in the wiki, will I not feel just as overwhelmed 
as I do trying to navigate the Guidelines and Techniques pages?
