This is great. I think it would be wonderful
if we finally arrived at an introduction type of post where we all do what Keith
has done. These could then be put into an Introductions section at
the web site and serve as a context file for each of us as we explore these
things together. It also would be helpful if we posted the things
that we are interested in, in relation to the Future of work and how we could
help each other. Just a thought. What do you think
Arthur, Sally?
