Andy - Part of the problem are new pages being set up.
Work to preserve the valuable content in a way that allows it to be useful as we move forward.
Louis-has a template in mind, would require little modification of the Requirements Catalog tables.
Brett-Wiki should be a reference wiki; forums should be used for discussions.
See Geir, comment below
GeneJ to gather ideas and members to work and advance this idea.
ITEM: Q & A
(a) Andy - what happens if we set up a sister reference wiki?
(b) Brett - Status of the wiki usage. Outreach
(c) Geir - In addition to summarizing (Requirements Catalog); should also identify things that are independent of other requirements = the CORE and then identify the part that can be separated from the core for advance work.

(e) Nick - are there any programs out there that function as evidence and conclusion models. Robert = some model needs to support the transfer of the evidence and conclusion models and then there are software programs that support the features of this model. Neither today fully support this.
