http://www.iastandards.org/

Is a new web site intended to serve as a hub for the Information
Architecture (IA) community's nascent standardization movement.

<http://www.info-arch.org/lists/sigia-l/0105/0021.html>

Paula Thornton was prescient:

"Personally, I don't believe in standards (particularly in an evolutionary
environment such as ours), and I think that the real value proposition for
practitioners would be for a repository of shared components."

<http://www.info-arch.org/lists/sigia-l/0105/0045.html>

It'd be tempting for me joke about standards/best practices/etc at this
point, but the site's focus ("defibrillators") speaks volumes about the EKG
of the original proposition. :-)
