(2004-09-02) Meta Mail Workflow

Jon Udell and Phil Windley and JohnReynolds and Esther Dyson on Meta Mail Semi Structured Work-Flow/Pro Ject management. Toward a Universal Toolbox or a fragmented Attention Management hassle? I think email is the wrong direction to go here... A couple lite-process ideas...

• a shared hierarchical task space(Issue Tracker) (as a WebApp)

  • who's going to host it?

• each deliverable has an RSS feed (AppLog), and/or email alerts

• even lighter - every mini-Pro Ject is a One Page Wiki

  • but we don't think of a separate feed per wiki page, though that's possible...

  • this approach is too lite, even less structure than email

• with all this being AdHoc it makes it even more important to have it be easy to create/kill
