I'm replying to this message and a message from a guy in another
thread which has disappeared from my inbox somehow.  His point was
that if we do all the above, we'll fail.  I thought the email was
quite insightful actually, but I still disagree.

We can have our cake and eat it too.  Here is how:

1. Define Phase 1: Develop a framework which can handle multiple focii
in the web design sense.
2. Define Phase 2: Pick one focus area and create content for it.
Ignore the other areas.

Phase 1 work begins immediately.  Phase 2 work begins very shortly
thereafter (as per my comment about content & design being separated
in a CMS).

3. Achieve success by however we measure it for the above phases.
4. Only then think about adding new focus areas.  Not before.

I don't care which one we focus on, but I feel pretty strongly that
our site should serve more than one need.
