Rosan Chow asked today on phd-design:
> ... a more basic question: what is designing (about)?
This is, I thought, a topic likely to have been aired before. So I
checked the archive by searching on "definition of design". (Readers who
have not used the archive will find it on www.jiscmail.ac.uk which has a
radically new design for the homepage since I last used it - one new
feature allows users to save the names of favourite lists.)
That [sub]string search threw up a fair number of messages going back
years, including ones from Rosan Chow posted in 2000, 2001, & 2002.
Maybe Rosan's 2003 resolution should be to post an answer rather than
repeat the question ;-)

The management here were SO impressed with W Edward Deming's "Out of
the crisis" that they are working flat out to create THE BEST crisis;
then they can start implementing the 13 obligations.
