No question, some of the user-interface areas will be
process-oriented, such as the task force meetings. However, instead
of monolithic meeting pages, we'll divvy them up into the topical
areas and use hypertext links (what a concept) to group them for
access. It's basically a faceted approach, as we've been talking
about on this list, with a time-and-location overlay on an
essentially topical organization.
