Hi Alexander,

As in Robert's follow up message. All messages like this one will be
considered at the up-coming retreat.

BTW, someone is working on doing something similar to this right now.
8-) Very early stages.

The discussion, IMHO, is a place to hash things out. What you're
proposing is a place to codify and refine the discussion. This to me
is a core next step in the Community of Practice.

One way to do this now is through the web site--not gamma or beta
anymore, just good old http://ixda.org/.

The topics and tagging combined can be used as an early means of
sorting through the conversation and encoding it. Further, there is
the ability to select postings as favorites if you like.

Anyway, thank you Alex for your constructive comment and I others
should feel free to comment here or to "info (at) ixda (dot) org"
before Friday.

-- dave

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Prototypical

2007-11-13 Thread Alexander Baxevanis
Dear IxDA Community,
I have no problem with all this arguing: my problem is that unless I have
the time to closely follow 2-3 threads of 20+ messages each, I will get
nothing out of the whole discussion.

I have seen many long threads about IxD tools & techniques: what I would
rather see is a live document (e.g. a Wiki) where people can add their views
and clarify them as discussions evolve, maintaining a neutral point of view
where there is no consensus, i.e. something like this:

"Some believe prototypes should be made of paper because paper is light,
readily available & recyclable [...]
Another opinion is that prototypes should be made of metal so that they can
withstand heavy user testing [...]
Finally, some believe that we shouldn't have prototypes at all because it's
a waste of time making them."

Let everyone present their arguments and their justification in parallel,
and I think it's up to anyone reading this to make an informed choice of how
and why to use some technique.

Thanks,

Alex

P.S. Unfortunately I didn't think of the above when I wrote my reply to the
recent IxDA survey, but I hope it can still be taken into account.

[IxDA Discuss] Prototypical

2007-11-12 Thread Christopher Fahey
Dear IxDA Community,

When you are done arguing over the meaning of the word "prototype",  
please let me know.  I weighed in on this six days ago, and already  
regret it. I don't think anyone's opinion has changed, or will.

Thanks!
