Sounds great - but I assume that if people from so many different
disciplines can talk with each other, we should be able to participate
at some level of abstraction?  On the other hand, I don't always find
a welcome ear among my IT colleagues for the "systems" and "process"
approach.  Most that I meet just "build solutions", "fix problems" and
go on to the next thing.

Or were there islands with water purifiers, lithographers, and nuclear 
engineers, each with their own peers?

Cheers,
Henk
