This sounds suspiciously like "design before implementation" or one of those other socialist granola-eating philosophies from the 60's at places like Berkeley & CWI. Jeeze, he'll start quoting Wirth next if we don't stop him! :-) Seriously, this sounds like a reasonable attempt to bring the techies back down to earth. Any human interface people care to jump in at this point and start suggesting how John's 16 step program might be implemented? I'm good at thinking up the implementation details, but not so good at the "story boarding" that John seems to be suggesting for this stage. Jordan
