Call for submissions

Thanks to all of you who signed up for this twine. This twine is a medium term attractor for information, it will not be tremendously active, unless you all have material you can contribute, as I will contribute here when I see interesting items (hence my stimulus response machine status).

I post this twine as a question, rather than an answer. As a collaboration, not a presentation.  It resulted from the article and two systems quoted in the article, however I realize that task orientation but one way to orient the perspective of  a system.  I think the movement from a file centric or application centric view to something else is necessary.  Though I am unconvinced that task orientation is necessarily the whole answer, it is an interesting approach.

As some of you may know I am a Business Architect by profession, though my vocation is *net, (toward a multiminded value exchange based platform for work). This subject involves both pursuits.

This twine crosses borders and so I have invited people from the Business Process world, where task based interfaces are the norm, but perhaps incomplete and lacking in a full commitment to task orientation, generally defining themselves as middleware connecting other systems of records.  I have also tried to invite as many people as hang out in twine who concern themselves with the semantics and structure, knowledge management, learning, interface design and systems architecture. I am fortunate to have such talented people willing to engage in a conversation.

I hope that from your various perspectives you may trip over examples of task orientation, and throw those items in this twine.

Discussions of alternative centricities is valid, in particular as compared to task orientation.   Discussions of completeness/incompleteness of the approach are also welcomed.

I will post an unusual example of task orientation in the harmony remote, first seen at CES in vegas many years ago in its pure form before logitech started wrecking it.  I do this to widen the walls.

Again, thanks for coming.
