Proposed design svn structure

[Jess Mitchell]

Design should live outside of Engage since we have plenty of design  
work for other projects.  If we keep it Design > Engage, that allows  
us to have Design > Other Project in the future.  We can easily grow  
with that.

Powerpoints and papers should go into the wiki on the Presentation  
page.  It might be useful for us to talk about what kinds of materials  
we expect to put in SVN versus the wiki in our conversation this  
afternoon.
