Most work on ecological interfaces has addressed process control and aviation systems driven by constraints from physical laws. This paper illustrates the design process of a system driven by users' intentions. It raises some problems that occur in the design of ecological systems that support co-operative work that is driven both by constraints from organisational policies and from users' intentions.
