Editor's Notes

  • #3: Give titles of books - User Adoption, Doing Business with IBM Connections, Collaboration Roadmap
  • #8: e.g., move email message out of Verse into a Connections blog
  • #11: Engagement: reduce the stress of managing email, free the mental processes for engagement not prioritization
  • #18: Need to explain some of these.
