#dcs08 drupal needs to be easier for non-geeks - good IA helps this process (and yes users and producers have lots to contrib to the convo)

#dcs08 god IA makes projects a bigger success - not just doing what the client wants but really giving them something smarter and better

#dcs08 40-140 hours for planning/IA (depending on budget - about 20% of project) - outsource work to client with wireframes in (ack) msword

#dcs08 audience diagram is circles within a circle sized to coincide with site usage by that segment/profile - helps define roles too

#dcs08 encourage clients to gather content! yes this is a huge pain in the ass. the client is responsible for editing/proofing or extra $$$

#dcs08 gregory recommends "going analog" for IA - use cards, paper, and crayons as needed - run with scissors and glue!

#dcs08 yes, clients change their mind, methinks: sometimes this is OK and makes site better so bake overruns into budget FTW

#dcs08 the budget swaddles the client to keep them under control

#dcs08 good IA is about making the processes you want your users to do - easy and intuitive and manageable

#dcs08 give your user stories/types "names" for easy reference - different people use the site in different ways

#dcs08 for starters, you plan with: 1) user stories/scenarios, 2) content matrix, 3) site map, & 4) wire frames - create in-depth narrative
