It sounds like we all agree that there are different databases, and that we must address them all. It also sounds like there is not much interest in explicitly having different requirements for each type of database. I think this is going to make our lives more difficult, because it means that we're going to end up with conflicting (and possibly irreconcilable) requirements from different types of users. But we can always revisit this decision if that happens, and decide to split the databases at that point. 😉 I think the next step is to document our various stakeholders. I'll have a go at writing that up tonight when dealing with jetlag unless someone gets to it first.... Cheers, -- Shane
