Abstract
The Locales Framework has grown out of my own journey with understanding and designing for the support of work. This journey has taken place in the context of the broader community journey where many other people are also grappling with issues around the wicked problem of design for complex human environments. Before going on to explore how to work with the framework, I want to highlight some of the other work going on in the community that was closely related to the Locales Framework at the time it was developed, specifically the Lancaster viewpoints and framework dimensions, Activity Theory, Soft Systems Methodology, ORDIT and Contextual Design.

Notes
The commitment to an ethnomethodological position might explain why the developers feel that both viewpoints and framework are needed.
While this suggestion will upset many theoretical purists, my concerns here are more pragmatic, driven by what an approach can offer for design than by any theoretical allegiance.
