[FRIAM] barcamp Santa Fe wiki

[Phil Henshaw]

sfComplex looks like a fabulous idea, congrats.  My work focuses on
practical methods of 'getting the problem right.'   Might a study of
digital solutions include looking outside of the digital environment to
the physical one, to see if the problems being addressed really fit, to
question theory not just apply it?   Might you even include 'getting the
problem right' as a core element in the 'curriculum'.

Finding how you avoid going too far with the wrong idea of things is
rather basic in problem solving, no?
