Before we begin to organize this discussion and decide which boxes questions will go into, shouldn't we be sure that everyone has asked a question? If we organize this page into topics and subtopics it is possible that we may discourage people from asking questions that do not 'fit' into one of the topics. If people want to start organizing the ideas on this page right away, which I agree we should for the pressing questions Adam mentioned, perhaps it is best done on a different page until we are sure that everyone has had their crack at questions. Jesse, I removed your categories for this reason. -- JustinColannino - 10 May 2008

I think that makes a lot of sense, Justin, but I am pretty sure that we can have it both ways. I will make sure to leave this page up, but I don't think that should keep us from moving forward. Organizing these questions well will likely make future contributions easier because (1) folks won't have to read the whole list to make sure they are not repeating a question, (2) by going right to the category page to which their question pertains, they will be able to get a sense of (a) what answers are already out there and (b) our current thinking on the general issue, and (3) the goal here is dialogue, collaboration, and problem solving. If we wait for ever to get all the questions on the table, it will be too late to answer some of them effectively. So, I think the solution is to organize in a way that doesn't discourage future participation (leaving this page up - or a misc. category page - for new questions would be a good start) and is as inclusive as possible. I imagine once the organization process begins it will take on a life of its own and quickly become user friendly (assuming people keep doing exactly what you are doing and pointing out potential pitfalls before we sink into them). -- AdamCarlis - 10 May 2008
