Comment: Migrated to Confluence 4.0

The layout of the science strong lensing part of the white paper Science Book should probably be hierarchical like the rest of the site - below I've put in 4 approximate chapter headings,  which will become links to other pages later. Eventually we will get down to a level where the title is of a specific project, and then that page will 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 (going to want to be) working on it. 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...
