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?
