misconception addendum :)

> I think we should do a one or two day brainstorming about issue/vision/direction. There are some experiences to share and see what we can do. ESUG10 could be a nice place for that kind of workshop. I personnaly have some ideas/insigths but I cannot really communicate them easily by email (moreover, most of the time they'll be ignored ;-) ). I think it's better to sit around a table a discuss.
