I think the main impetus for adding this section was that we wanted to share out the results of the Content Management Research as a way of reporting on the state of UX in the Fluid communities (which I believe is one of the Fluid deliverables). After adding this, I realized that the results of the UX Walkthroughs are also something that we should probably share. I'm not entirely sure the OSDPL working group belongs there, but I added it at the last moment to publicize that effort and maybe it should be deleted. I guess the question is, who is the audience of the manual and would they find this information helpful (or conversely does the manual become overwhelming for most of our audience when it is included)?
