I have little to add at this time as Claus has expressed my own thoughts. I Think we can be shopping for implementation software as we vet and refine our webusecases. The webusecases certainly will eliminate a few contenders and help us refine our information architecture. I suspect that by looking a the kinds of IA implemented by some of the software, and their features, we might fill in some of the gaps in our own webusecases. -- __C U R T I S C.
