Component families laid out on the wiki.

[Daphne Ogle]

Yea, I think you are getting close Jonathon.  I wonder if adding a 1- 
liner for the category would help?  I like the idea of skipping  
"family" and referring to the functionality.

A couple other comments about the page:

-  I think "Designed Beautifully" is too narrow and lends to the  
misconception that design = graphic design.  I'm struggling to come up  
with the adverb and don't love this but how about "User Friendly.   
Technically Friendly."?   That could lead to "who's the user" but  
maybe that's the point.  Fluid components are friendly to all users  
from end users of the contexts they live in to integrators :).

- Also, the category for Inline Edit should probably be "Editing  
inline" or something similar rather than "Text Editing" since editing  
dropdowns, dates, etc. are on the radar in this family.
