Additional Perspectives
• Met with Miron about communications
 Only important metric: how much effort
required to use resources effectively
 Not pleased w/ website; needs clearer
audience identification and flow
 Website-twiki-GOC flow inadequate
 Re doc: Do we need “OSG for dummies”
and “OSG for experts”?
