So long as there are units (examples and technique-patterns) built that do a good job of bridging between the Human:Computer interface issues that make or break effective communication on the one side, and the specific-technology implementation techniques and examples on the other, we will be making good progress. The questions we ask about all cases worked up are probably more important that the tree we sort them into. [three choruses of "it's a web, not a tree...] I am just nervous about the experts being too "technology driven" with the result that we build a technological tour de force, but spotty coverage of the access-critical frontiers in the relevant design space. All of this can be addressed to some degree in the group review. Posession is nine points of the law. Those who actually pull an oar do and should have a lot to say about where we go.
