I found Eric's post to be very helpful. As one who doesn't deal regularly with knowledge on a theoretical level, having things
explained in terms I understand was a good first step for me.

Idea #1. How about we choose the design of a DKR as the problem that justifies building the first DKR (nice and recursive)? This
might be a domain in which more of us approach being Subject Matter Experts (SMEs). Perhaps we even shrink the scope to the design
of the standard knowledge container.

Brooks says in The Mythical Man Month that we should plan on throwing one away. Because of this I am inclined to choose a small,
managable topic for the prototype DKR.

Idea #2. Someone else quoted Brooks already. If this is a book that is known to the group, another idea is to attempt to store
the knowledge contained in his book into the prototype DKR. The topic of the DKR would be management of Information Systems
projects.
