Wiki page for contextual inquiry meeting today

[Daphne Ogle]

Great point Peter!  It may come out in some the of the factors but I  
think it's worth pulling out on its own.  We've expressed this in  
variance in departments before.  So as you say humanities and  
sciences will have much different kinds of content.  Do you think  
that is at the right level?  I'll also list the idea of subject  
matter in general.

Thanks for the feedback!
