Well, I really wasn't trying to comment on the Project Database - just the way
it was being presented to people on the web.

Good idea. Unfortunately I think the way it works is that the NONE causes none
of the practice directors look at those projects! This is probably just an
indication of a broken practice - project team leaders not talking to the
Practice directors when they start projects. ("Hey, if I leave this blank (or
put 'adhoc' I won't have to think about the customer side of the project or
talk to one of them Practice Directors." :-) )
I'd also like to understand who wears the Practice hat for "Commons" - JDB?
And Jim Morgan for "OFFICE-MR"?

I think this is equally dangerous. How is that decision made? By whom?
Just my thoughts. Dennis
