Heather,

Nice progress.

I suggest adding another category.  You currently distinguish 'need' and 
'want'.  I believe a number of items on the lists are already satisfied.

These should be labeled 'exists' so that folks can see what is 
/different/ in the lists from what we already have.

For example:

    Need to be able to update documents easily and see how they might 
look when published

is already satisfied.

I am assuming that a meta-need is to retain what we already have.
