[IxDA Discuss] Hide vs Collapse

[Mike Baxter]

Hi Alison

Interesting article on layered presentation of information in the recent
issue of 'Slant' from Avenue A | Razorfish:
http://slant.avenuea-razorfish.com/1206_slant/jit.pdf
More thought process than pattern but may be useful.

Also interesting that it describes this approach as a just-in-time approach
to information design - a metaphor that has value in the minds of many
business people (just in time stock control only orders stock when needed
for sale, hence reducing warehouse capacity).
