Yes it does -- sounds very cool. Thank you very much, that's a nice example.

Would it be possible to explain the Tag-Facet difference in such 
concrete terms fairly early in your "fifteen minute Chandler" 
presentation? I think it may be a bit too abstract right now, and when 
facets appear in slide 10, I felt like I must have missed an important 
lecture and don't have a clue what's going on.

One possible way to deal with this in a very simple way is to be more 
consistent in terminology. For example, the illustration on slide 11 
talks about "grouping labels". This is basically promoting tags/labels 
to facets, correct? If it is, how about mentioning facets on that slide? 
I think it would really pull together many of the slides.

Another presentation issue: I had a similar lost feeling when I came 
across the "bi-level hierarchy" in slide 13 -- it kind of appeared out 
of nowhere and disappeared just as fast, leaving me wondering if I'd 
just missed something *really* important.

One last thing: I was reading user docs for Piggy Bank today (thanks to 
a mention I found in this list's archive), and the flexible 
reorganization that you mention at the end of the notes for slides 9-13 
("by project>by person") made a lot more sense. But will your audience 
know what you mean here? I certainly didn't when I was reading it 
yesterday, FWIW.

I hope these comments are useful,
