From the POGS outreach folks - who deal with the users more than me Hi David and all, thanks for the opportunity to have a look.
My thoughts: Jacob’s proposal is very clear and in my opinion superior to the other example above, I think it’s a good change to make. On the whole I think negatively expressing preferences is clearer and easier to deal with than expressing them positively. To add to the discussion at the bottom of the page - what about ‘Processing Preferences’ instead of ‘Computing Preferences'? I think to a layperson processing is the term more commonly used (rather than ‘computing’ - I think to lay audiences computing means the things you do with the mouse and keyboard when you’re using a computer!) Plus the alliteration of processing preferences flows nicely ;) All the best, Kirsten Regards Kevin On 10 Dec 2014, at 03:57, David Anderson <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Currently, computing preferences are expressed differently in the GUI than on the web, leading to user confusion. We'd like to express them the same way in both places. A proposal for doing this is here: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/PrefsUnification If you have time, please review the proposal and comment (either to me individually, or to the email list). -- David _______________________________________________ boinc_dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/boinc_dev To unsubscribe, visit the above URL and (near bottom of page) enter your email address. _______________________________________________ boinc_dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/boinc_dev To unsubscribe, visit the above URL and (near bottom of page) enter your email address.
