I don't have a strong opinion about this. Sheila? Priss? Katie?

 From a Product Planning perspective, the Standalone Chandler Server  
product will probably eventually look very different from the  
Chandler Hub product. For example, what is currently the Account  
Browser may get a UI overhaul aimed at people running home servers or  
servers for small companies, etc. But Chandler Hub users may never  
see/use the Account Browser.

Even today, we have some competing use cases around the various URLs  
users can access/hand out from the end-user UI. Anyhow, we don't need  
to have that section in the Planning area just yet, since there isn't  
anything to put there...but the Planning and Product Areas are  
technically organized by Product...and we've talked about how  
eventually Chandler Server will be it's own product. But I may be  
jumping the gun on this one.

Yup, who can I pass the buck to? Pieter?

Sure, I thought about that too, but don't think it's a big deal  
either way. We can tackle this next Tuesday, we're planning on using  
the Design Session time for another wiki gardening sprint.

There are community member pages in there as well. Not sure if we  
want to draw a line between staff and community. We haven't until now.
