The layout of the strong lensing part of the Science Book should probably be hierarchical n some way, but for to get started it makes sense to focus on some number (say, 10) specific projects, and explain the question(s) being investigated, how this might be done, and who is working on that part of the Book. I have sorted the current list of science projects from the SL plenary talk at the May 2008 AHM into these categories, and transcribed a very brief description of the project on this page. Each project will eventually have its own linked page for the appropriate team members to work on, but while we are still discussing these projects let's keep things on this one page.
As the site evolves, I would hope to see further sub-pages appearing describing related current projects, their status/results/publications and so on...

For reference, the SL plenary talk from the May 2008 AHM is linked to here
