I was at the same LUG meeting as Dean with Wayne Madden.  It was
a very eye opening presentation.  He mentioned that for business to
be even more competitive than they are today, we need to go beyond
3 GLs to something which will allow us to change software rapidly.
Something which can encapsulate the business knowledge instead
of it leaving out the door with the people changing jobs.

I'm not familiar with it at all.  I'm reading notes from this list to gain
knowledge.
