Very nice!

An example of institutional knowledge getting somewhat lost is the 
duration of conference thing I recently talked about -- when I did the 
research on how the change happened, it's all a very logical step taken 
year on year based on the previous year's conference, and at least some 
people seemed not aware that it'd been 3 days for years before then.

Of course that's hardly a serious case, but I do think that 
institutional knowledge you have more overview and therefore better 
ability to step back and take stock once every while.

Regards,

Martijn
