Intro
At the ASIS&T 2001 Summit on "Practicing Information Architecture," I had the pleasure of sitting on the Reflections and Projections Panel with Andrew Dillon, Andrea Gallagher, and Alison Head, where we were tasked to discuss "the past, present, and future of information architecture."

I hadn't come to the panel well-prepared, but I had jotted down a bunch of notes throughout the day to draw from. As time to speak approached, I chose a few items to speak on, and attempted something akin to organization in talking about them. Of course, the comments of the previous panelists spurred other thoughts, too.

Anyway, I wanted to share my notes with the community, in an effort to encourage discussion on the various issues facing information architects today.
