> What do you see as the top ten challenges facing
> Museums at present and five years into the future?

1. Technology.
2. Technology
3. Technology
4. Education of children with very tiny attention spans
5. Recent Past preservation (yee haw, my favORite!)
6. Did I mention Technology?
7. Maintaining a good website that will attract visitors
8. No Poofdas...I mean...technology (If you dont get that joke, let me know.)
9. Paying people decent wages (and the flip side of bringing in money)
10. Integration of ideas and contexts.  (see also: Heritage Harbor, Providence, RI)

Speaking of Heritage Harbor, anyone know the status of the project? (I.E. When they expect to
hire?)

Oh, and I think keeping up with technology will be important in the future.
