It maybe a foolish idea, a fool's paradise, a ship of fools or some
other inept metaphor involving fools, but the entire community across
the board could do with an über list/forum in which the sub lists were
IxD, UX, IA, ID, etc., etc.
A mix of the Academy (as in Oscars, without the statues) and Slashdot
(without the trolls). I'd like to see more cross pollination and
interaction (pun intended) between those areas and a sense that we're
all working towards a better something. The cinema model does work
because it is over 100 years old, I know and I am aware of its
history. But it also works because each component area came to respect
the other.
Less focus on defining ourselves by what process and tools we use and
more on the end result, which would help move this discussion along a
lot more. It's not that process isn't important, but there is more
than one way to skin an iPhone (just as there's more than one way to
make a film.)
Best,
Andy
