Er...now I don't know if I'm pestering Sam by keeping him on the cc
list or annoying him by removing him :)
Dan, I was also thinking about general knowledge management
techniques, e.g.,
http://www.about-goal-setting.com/KM-Library/knowledge-management-
lessons-learned.html
It seems to me that (actually, like NASA), that the W3C institutional
knowledge, especially "higher level" aspects, is heavily located in
people and people who are both fairly transient (there are lot of
long timers, but people do come and go) and segregated (people don't
necessarily participate across domains).
The W3C tries to address this in a variety of ways, e.g., the tech
plenary and extensive electronic records.
My real thought is that trying some more formal KM techniques may
help cover some gaps that the TP and the relatively unorganized mass
of electronic records leave.
I suspect that there is more of this than I know of going on. If so,
just point me at it :)
Cheers,
Bijan.
