Susan,
 I also am interested in this. I not only agree with your observation
that:

but I think we also lack the requisite process management tools. As
you can see from my previous message to you, I think MADEFAST offers a
great opportunity to "play" with ways of managing the distributed
project management process.  I'll be interested in your analysis and
will keep you informed of any progress I might make along the way.
Presumably others will also try out electronic design notebooks,
hypermail, etc. and we can see what's useful, what hangs together, and
what's missing.

 Charles
