how do library web projects compare to commercial/academic w3 development?

[sean dreilinger]

i'm trying to familiarize myself with several facets of *library* web
projects. i have worked on all sorts of commercial and academic web
projects since 1995, but no libraries :-( 

would the good people of web4lib care to peruse the (very brief!)
outline of web project elements below and help me consider points where
library web projects might differ? if you have stories to share about
your own library w3 project as it relates (or departs) from the outline
below i'd be very interested to know!

thanks very much, & greetings from sunny southern california!
