Tasks to close

Community Connections Task, Andy

• Output: Resources/Communities_and_People.
  
• Additional contributors: Mark S.
  
• I'm in favor of closing this task and looking for new ways of getting resources like this built.

GSm Problem Map Task, David

• Output: Development/Requirements/User_Problem_Domain/Making_sense_of_what? in the form of a Debategraph.
• Additional contributors: Andy & Jack.  Maybe others too, I can't easily tell.
• Seems a pretty rich result, so I'm in favor of calling this task done for now.

David Price 21 July 2008 Thanks Andy: I'll revisit the map later this week (anyone who would like to is welcome to join me in this): and suggest that we sign off on this task (for now) on Friday evening.

David Price 29 July 2008 Just to confirm that I'm happy to sign off on this task formally now.

Tasks needing work

I think the two task here are initmately interrelated. 

Sensemaking (Sm) Tools Audit Task, Mark A.

• The description Mark provides for this task is, I think, spot on.  I remain convinced this is a high-payoff task and would like to see it strongly supported by the community.

I especially like this part:  What will be a worthy development from this effort is creating meaningful ways to differentiate technologies to better understand the the functional features of the technology relative to the sense-making support communities require.

GSm Tools Wish List Task, George

• Output: Dashboard/Tasks/Active_Tasks/GSm_Tools_Wish-List_Task/GSm_Tools_Wish-List
• Additional contributors: Andy and Jack.
• Subsequent email discussion has driven out many more ideas from more people.  It's quite a lot of stuff and not yet incorporated into a document.
  

George has also been looking into a hosting a workshop with potential GSm tool users to further drive out requirements.
