Bev: Hello, good day everyone! We are here to discuss setting up an internet tool for our own use to organize events and share information. Here with us today is our internet technical expert to help us, Irene. I now hand over the meeting to the expert.

Irene: Hello, Kiwi is software based on the Web, you have to learn a few conventions, but it helps you solve a lot of different problems as a group and when including the public. In order for me to help with this task, I will need to get some feedback from everyone to begin this process. Can we go around the table for each of you to let me know what will be useful for your needs. (as she is talking she is takes the box full of puzzle pieces and spills them onto the middle of the table)

Bev: I'll start - I need a place to share documents with everyone. Please excuse me I need to go to another meeting. (Gets up, picks out a puzzle piece from table and places it in the lap of the Techy person)

Bee: I need to organize meetings for the group. Sorry, I must run to an appointment! (Gets up, picks out a puzzle piece from table and places it in the lap of Irene)
