[IxDA Discuss] curious: namespace, aka?
I am curious: has anyone found, tested, and used a word as an alternative to "namespace" in the user-facing view of more general consumer applications (i.e. for not-definite-technical-audiences)? I see that a number of wiki's use the term in the default interface, for example. It is definitionally correct, but not particularly clear, friendly, or pleasant. For reference, here is a definition: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Namespace Yes, (I am aware that) synonyms are evident there. "Context" seems reasonable, for example. I nonetheless am interested in instances that are actually in production. Thanks in advance for any contributions. - michel Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Designing a "query builder" for advanced search
santiago, i haven't seen the term used yet, but what you are describing is called operator precedence. it is more commonly encountered in math-with-numbers, where evaluating the following has only one correct result: 2 + 3 * 9 + 5 since boolean algebra isn't generally taught except to CS students, boolean operator precedence is not commonly known, but it exists just the same. generally, the precedence is 1. parentheses 2. AND 3. OR so the only "correct" interpretation is ( 1 && 0 ) || 1 || ( 0 && 0 ) Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)! To post to this list ...

I think this is a great solution. The pattern itself has been used in the world of bug-tracking tools and customer support requests, where the submission (the posting, in this context) is used first as a query to see if any results cross a certain threshold in relevance. Above the threshold and the application asks the user if one of these other items is a duplicate or meets their needs. Otherwise, proceed. And its a great illustration of making the technology go to work instead of making the humans do more work. For the list, extending it to email would be novel, functioning as a sort of call-and-response in non-web channels. - Michel. Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!

Re: [IxDA Discuss] 2 part button - industry standard?
Perhaps inquire with the Yahoo library folks for the genealogy. Their codification of the "menu button" is one of the first documents of it I have seen in circulation. http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/examples/button/btn_example07.html - Michel Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
