Forwarding an exchange about progress on Sections to the list...will
follow-up with an email outlining the different "options" we're
considering for sectioning the table in 0.7.

Wow, that was unexpected...just to clarify...I'm not proposing "no
sections". I'm proposing that we use the sidebar as a way to show
and hide sections. I was trying to get at the root of Mitch's
proposal and looking for some other implementation ideas at the
same time.
Maybe we can have a quick conversation about this after the staff
meeting tomorrow.

Thanks Mimi -
From the engineering side, I've got an update: I've actually got
a really really barebones implementation of sections in the table
summary view.. here's a screen shot of it in action:
This may not look like much, but this demonstrates the plumbing
required to make this happen. Specifically, the "section header"
just makes each column in the header say "[Section: foo]" - and
this is working for any arbitrary value at the moment, so what
you see is sectioning by triage, but you can click on who/about
and get sections based on them too.
What's left here:
1) drawing something better than [Section: foo] in each cell - we
can probably rig something up pretty easily with attribute editors
2) making section rows exapandable/clickable/etc
3) lots of little odd bugs
I'm still not sure I completely understand Mimi's proposal, but
I'll take that up on the design list.... but if sections as you
wanted were, say, halfway there, would the alternative non-
sectioned triage design still be relevant?
