141203 - Frode Hegland suggests using a system to organize reference materials
141204 - in a way that facilitates selecting material based on level of detail
141205 - and expertise.  Eric Armstrong concurs with a letter from Jack Park
141206 - suggesting two lists of references.  One list is for implementation,
141207 - and the other is for content.

141606 - Received ref DRT 1 0001 from Frode Hegland thanking Eric Armstrong for
141607 - a great job managing reference material being used by the Colloquium,
141608 - reported on 000220. ref SDS 33 8044

141610 -     [On 000223 Frode submits further ideas. ref SDS 35 4892]
141611 -
141612 - Frode asks about top level distilations to may help people get some
141613 - parts of this quickly?
141614 -
141615 - Frode cites talk of registering www.unrev2.org and creating an
141616 - overview/list of links there to answer basic questions and point
141617 - people in the right direction, and asks if Colloquium contributors
141618 - should try to cordinate such an effort? Would it be worthwhile?

141621 - This actually sounds related to the discussion below about

271135 -      Implementation issues are deep and long. Those discussions
271136 -      will choke off content discussions. But it is the content
271137 -      discussions that provide motivation and delineate the purpose(s)
271138 -      that direct the design work. ref DRT 2 7920
271139 -
271140 -      Content discussions tend to be widely diverse and far ranging.
271141 -      Those discussions will put off the folks who want to narrow their
271142 -      focus, dig in, and get something built. Without those discussions
271143 -      and the work that results from them, the content discussions will
271144 -      remain so many breezes in the air, with no concrete results.
271145 -      ref DRT 2 3468
271146 -
271147 -      The goals of the two discussions are so diverse, the discussions
271148 -      themselves so mutually antipathetic to many important
271149 -      contributors, and the sheer volume of each so large, that two
271150 -      lists strikes me as an absolute necessity. ref DRT 2 9630
271151 - ..
271152 - Implementation is meant to support content, so it cannot be
271153 - completely choked off from the crazy, diverse world of content,
271154 - otherwise it will produce something primarily aimed at building
271155 - itself.
