I posted my thoughts directly to Mr. Sokolow, but I thought one
point might be of interest to the group as a whole. Not meant in
any way to be a critique of one solution or another, rather a potentially
useful point to consider if faced with a similar decision.
What about researchers interested in examining a larger picture?
(i.e. studying the PR department, or system-wide communications, etc)
Will a solution based on facilitating ease of use for one subset of
researchers will make it more difficult for another subset?
