[zzdev] Suggestions on couching zz in terms executives understand



While this is not, strictly speaking, a zz development
issue, I thought some of the links in this newsletter
describe issues and matters which might be good to 
think on if zz technology needs to be pitched to 
business people.  I approach them from the idea of
"Well, okay, how could zz technology help here, what
would make it different, better, a complementary tool
to what's there?"  

Obviously a full Xanadu would solve a lot of these 
"Who are these people?" problems immediately -- unless 
privacy screens were hardwired into it. I'm think of 
moving forward from here and now and how to adapt it
for a zz technology marketing campaign.

If there's another list which is better suited for
this kind of discussion, please do point me at it
and accept my apologies for doing the Off-topic
Newbie Thing.
