Ok, so what is the difference? Where is the not-overlap, the totally different culture? Are we really talking about Painters vs. Sculpturors, or about problems of naming and organizations? I can't make out a big difference in topics on the iai-members list compared to this list, maybe sometimes someone writes "Taxonomy", and there is less traffic. To me, the difference is * IAI: Paid, well organized, services such as scholarships * IxDA: Free=open, great discussion, great local groups It would be great when IAI opens its mailing list to everyone, and if IxDA sets up a formal structure with paid membership, scholarships etc. - then we really have everything two times, and each org will be able to strongly evangalize its very special contribution to products & services, which is not at all covered by the other. (Please turn on your sarcasm detector). Here http://www.ixda.org/search.php?tag=joel we talked about a designer being capable of envisioning the whole UX, and that is also what this is about: less deliverable & method, less I'm information and you're interaction, more outcome: good UXs.
