I think that the working groups suggested by Sébastien make quite a
bit of sense, with the addition of a group for thinking about
connectivity. I've labelled according to where I see these falling in
the OSI stack, but I think that's of less importance - there is sure
to be spillover from layer to layer.

So then, the five groups could be:
0) Connectivity (Physical/Link/Network Layer)
1) Privacy (Transport/Session/Presentation Layer)
2) Data Ownership (Application)
3) Social (Application)
4) UI/UX

How much separation do people see between the data ownership and
social bits of the box? I see them both working mostly in the
application layer, and I wonder if we should be trying to engage in
integrative thinking there.

We might also consider a designated security group.

Otherwise, does this breakdown seem reasonable to others?

Very much agreed.
I also much agree that an instance of etherpad would be quite useful.


take care,
