OK, we have a problem. Yet, do we really know what the problem is? More often than not we look at the symptoms, consider them the problem and attempt to fix them. This actually dooms us to failure because they're only symptoms.

Purpose: Employ the Mono Lake model adapted from "Modeling the Environment" by Andrew Ford as a basis for developing a set of guidelines to support asynchronous multi-user model development.

Mono Lake is an ancient inland sea on the eastern side of the Sierra Nevada. From a policy point of view Mono Lake is the story of how a handful of people began a campaign to save a dying lake.

10.06.04 v1.0 created and documented by Bellinger. Initial problem with the reference mode has been fixed.
