Thanks to everyone who has put up with me going on and on about WorldBoard for the
past year; you indulge me well. Special thanks to everyone in the Learning
Communities Lab, your ideas and technology contributions have really made a difference,
but our growing sense of community means the most. Thanks to Eileen Genevro who
created the WorldBoard graphic. Lee Wood has been collecting WorldBoard scenarios,
and generating many of his own. Sunil integrated my accelerometer into the Mac serial port,
thanks! Thanks to Robin Myers and Mike Clark for hardware and idea help (I need
lots more!). Dan Russell is a fountain of helpful ideas and pointers. Gregory Abowd for good conversations. David Ditz for being a great "Info Scout." Thanks to
Doug Solomon for his corporate development perspective. And of course, Don Norman for continuing
to pose imagination challenges of his own, constantly urging all of us to think beyond
the desktop. Alan Kay's notion of a Dynabook, as well as his many other insights, have been a tremendous inspiration.
