One thing that seems very clear is that these rules should be expressed so that they can be consistently invoked from an API regardless of user interface. This is critical to freeing the system from lockin to archaic user interface modes. Another is that the rules should be clearly isolated as rules so that they can be readily reviewed and modified to fit the needs of different organizations and so that they can be easily adapted to fit changing policies and regulations affecting a given organization. --------------------------------------- Jim Self Systems Architect, Lead Developer VMTH Computer Services, UC Davis (http://www.vmth.ucdavis.edu/us/jaself) ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
