Re: [IxDA Discuss] Terms Every IxD Should Know

Exactly- tho the instance I was thinking (and I know there are many like this), was how IxDs and VisDe's often times and un-intentionally use the word "mock" or "screen" differently... and the resulting mis- communication of expectations can cause confusion. Likewise, "prototype" to those no

Hi Nina, I can't speak for IxDA, IAI, or any other organisation - but multiple domain-specific definitions will always be welcome on uxcommunity.org for as long as I am part of it. As to who contributes, and who gardens, and who has editorial control - good question. Eventually we'll run into iss

We agree. I think calling it UX glossary may help in inviting non-IxD-identified folks into the conversation, but I don't want to get hung up on tribal names. On Tue, Feb 17, 2009 at 1:45 PM, Andrew Boyd wrote: > > On Wed, Feb 18, 2009 at 8:22 AM, Christian Crumlish wrote: > >> I agree on not e

I do like the idea of having 2 separate definitions for a single word (as Miriam Webster and other dictionaries do), as it can't be controlled which disciplines some words are and/or aren't used for. As regular dictionaries define some words differently as "noun" and "verb" (as some can be

Getting a glossary together is a great idea, both for Dan's revised book and for the community.
