[nmx-dev] feedback - some good, some not so good

[Saul Albert]

Hi Everyone,

I got lots of interesting feedback about nm-x recently.

Kelli Dipple points out the potentially uncomfortable implications of
social networking in terms of privacy. I think this is something we
should take on board. The fact that she feels it's a threat means we're
clearly communicating the potential of the tool to connect people up
though!

Gavin O'Carroll is *extremely critical* - and some of what he says it is
spot on. I'm not sure he quite 'got' it, especially in terms of design
(what do you think Liz?) - but if he can't understand the map or the
Magic Tag, then there's clearly lot more work to do.

I also got some very positive feedback from Usman Haque, Ghislaine
Boddington and Max Schleser that seems to indicate that Gavin is in
something of a minority in his feelings about design. The other two
emails are also attached.

Overall I think Gavin and Kelli make some good points - mostly about how
complex the explanation is - we need to simplify, simplify, simplify,
and make sure we're taking people's privacy seriously.

Cheers,

Saul.
