This sounds like a perfect idea, because after evaluating and re-evaluating any
things that come up I realize that almost EVERYONE's use of ALICE and AIML is
either related or completely on the other side of the spectrum.  But @ some
point they can all be labeled.  For example:

Personal User Looking To Play Around With ALICE and AIM.
What do I need?  How do I set it up?

Enterprise User Looking To Connect ALICE with a database for my employees.
What do I need?  How do I set it up?

Etc, etc, etc.  In each of many cases the architecture *might* be different.  In
fact even maybe the test cases would be different.  This is probably why I never
comment on the drawings or charts because in some cases there is always a "Well
what if I ..." situation, and it's impossible to please everyone into one single
package.  I think maybe we should come up with 5 or so of the most common
situations and see if you can create 1 chart/diagram.
