Very interesting reading. Thanks.
I can understand perfectly why the Australian project
went the way it did. What I wonder is, how in the
world did they expect it to be successful to begin
with? They were trying to manage production of a
visual product without visual communications. It
sounded like the old example of trying to score a
symphony in English instead of musical notation.
