I've been playing with Ubiquity for 24hrs and it seems like a great concept but is rather rough around the edges.
What's most missing right now from a test user perspective is the ability to provide feeback (which may or may not be bugs) on specific commands in a consistent way - e.g. I would like to make a few suggestions about the Twitter and Map commands, but will have to work out where to post that feedback to, and how... instead there should be a "feedback" link next to each command in the command list which would allow me to reach a page where I can post that feedback and be sure that the author will at least see it, if not respond to it. I am aware of the Get Satisfaction facility, but there's no guarantee that the author of a 3rd party command will ever look here. Instead, Mozilla/ Ubiquity needs to provide a standardised mechanism for providing feeback, but I realise this could be a lot of work. In the short term, it should be ensured that all commands must have an email address listed within the Ubiquity command list so that feedback can be directly provided to the relevant author that way. Secondly, it's crucial that commands provide a preview/edit facility (within a consistent, standardised interface framework provided by Ubiquity) before they commit a change - e.g. I just posted a URL that I had highlighted via the Twitter command... I had assumed that it would provide me with the opportunity to add a comment to the URL, but instead it just posted the URL. This is NOT useful to me, nor is it predictable for new users. Finally, it should be possible for commands to have configuration options (e.g. Twitter command could have a "preview before post?" option defaulted to ON, which advanced users could switch off if they decide that they don't need it), and again, these options should be presented within a consistent, standardised interface provided by Ubiquity. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "ubiquity-firefox" group.
