True, and we can assign arbitrary keywords to each "article" in the KB.
This would definitely help people be able to find what they need
(assuming we can put in good keywords!!! :)  Also, we can track in the
stats what people are looking for, which will also help us keep things
put into the most intuitive place for the majority of the community.

That's probably the best way to do it, based on my experience with end
users. Often what is incredibly obvious to developers (what --- can't
you *see* that????) is less than intuitive to end users (and vice versa,
of course). Not that either is "wrong", just that these changing
perspectives can create some interesting possibilities when we're open
to them.

But which should follow which? Should we take the stats from Jive about
visitors' viewing patterns and update the TER as appropriate? Or should
we keep Jive updated to changes in the TER? I'm not sure which is easier
to keep updated, Jive is about as easy to update as page records in the
T3 BE, but I don't know about the inner workings of the TER (I'm
assuming it's just as easy?)
