I'll be in Utah next Monday and could call in. I'm also here on
Thursday if that works for everyone.

So I think there has been enough general interest in the idea of
CollectionGrid for us to sit down and contemplate what this would be
about.
I'd like to suggest that those who are interested in talking about this
(Me, Bryan, Katie?, John, David? Reid? anyone else is invited) get
together Monday to just sketch out some ideas on the whiteboard. The
idea would basically be just to answer questions, and flush out some of
the details that me, or bryan, or katie may or may not have thought
about.
The meeting will basically be to answer a few questions:
1) Whats involved in making our own grid, about up to the level of
functionality and appearance of the current grid.. at least very
roughly - This will start with us making a list of the features we'd
need, and then we'll sketch out some of the implementation issues with
boxes and lines and stuff.
2) What state would we be in when 1) is complete, vs. the current grid
- i.e. what flexibility would we have gained from all that work?
3) Risks? What big unknowns are there that might end up turning this
into a giant mess?
The hope is that by the end of the meeting we'll at least lean one way
or another: "man, that's just too much work for very little gain" or
"wow, this won't take that much work for a real gain in flexibility!"
