This is exactly the point here. The good news is that Jos and I
already started to make up a draft concept covering target groups etc.
This is meant to help when we finally get to the content. Maintaining
is a different story though...

To my opinion it would slow things down extremely when one part -
design - waits for the other one - content - or vice versa. This is
something that should be done simultaniously. More or less.
Coordination shouldn't be the highest barrier... Correct me if I'm
wrong.
