fyi Although I haven't worked on this article, I'm thinking of rearranging and slightly altering these paragraphs to make the entry more generic. This is a favorite word of mine that I, and my friends, have for 30 years used to refer to mean *any* intense work effort -- although we knew of course of that its main use was in art and architecture schools and institutes, and its origin at the Ecole de Beaux-Art.
Still the opening seems to partially reduce a common general word to a more specialized use. I said "charrette" in 1978 for a session to finish a computer program, and similarly ever since. The immediate almost exclusive emphasis on designers, urban planning, etc. seems weird to me. Is this NCI thing hijacking the word?
- Sure go ahead. The Random House dictionary[1] supports that the word can be used in the general sense, but emphasize the current common use of the word. Samw 04:05, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
