Hi Doug,

>IOW, just kind of looking for a general sense of things and perhaps some location where aggregated wisdom would be written down.

Well, my old ways would say:

"Do it the way you think is right, if it bombs, imagine how much smarter you would be when you have to redo it; if it turns out right, well, ... don't let anybody see how astonished you are!"

Then I was introduced to a "time frame". Good Luck!
