"you expect traditional management to be involved at all?"
Uh ... no. That was my point. I avoid "traditional manglement" at all costs.
My systems are my systems. Most are air-gapped. I am the CEO, the CFO, the CIO, the CTO, and the dude who steps in to muck out the stalls as needed when any given field-hand takes his chosen two days off every week. I also walk dawgs daily.
Global thinking is all very well and good, but it doesn't help keep local communities functional. For values of "local" that include forums that are globally accessible ... As ElReg is finding out with the new "user forums" ;-)
