as an end user, i think it's pretty good.
things i found to be impressive:
- color-coded scheme for different authors
- scroll bars
- formatting and spell checking
- (if i got this right) notes adjusting their position in case they overlap in
the pane. great work!
some additional pointers:
- maybe a fade effect on the color of the notes would add for good user
experience
-rounded edges of course
- fine broken lines to separate the author and date from the actual note content
maybe? just to give them a section-type effect. the scroll bar looks
"incomplete" because one looks at the author and date as part of the note
itself, and it looks/feels like the scroll bars didn't extent the entire note.
- NEW - an option to have them displayed on top of the document itself maybe?
like post it's sticked on paper, in it's exact position, such that they all
appear on top of the document? and then an option to view them on the side pane
of course (animated and all-at-once movement maybe?) when user wants to work
with the document already. just thought it would be a nice user experience also.
i have this widget ("forget me not") from yahoo that has a little transparent
tape-like thing on top of the "post it". i think it would look nice to have the
notes look like actual post it's placed on paper (the document), including the
tape (well post it's don't have tape, but i think it would look good though).
also it would be an original OOo feature.
- the flash for the connecting lines are nice also, but i'm not sure it would be
nice to have them constantly moving like neon night lights in vegas or bars
though. maybe it could be done in such a way that they become animated only when
the user is finished writing on/to the notes, or while the user is typing. it
might be considered a bit of an annoyance to have them flashing all the time. :)
- export to PDF i think shouldn't be missed
that's all i can think of as of now. i hope it adds to the brainstorming of how
to improve notes. to add, it's good that OOo is coming with it's own rendition
of notes (comment/annotations). i think it far exceeds the others also.
