No Eva, Clearly CMC is not the answer, otherwise we would all be doing it.

The focus of CMC seems to be the "conference", whereas I think in a list,
a document has a priority of its own. I suspect (and this seems to be the
direction the work we are doing is going) the document is where the action
is at, and we must be clever enough for the document to find its readers,
and for readers to act in interesting ways with the (multidimensional)
document.

However, the document is only a placeholder for the conversation.
