Hi Adrian
Easy to use in what context?
What behaviours are you trying to make the interface best support? Are
there other UI options that might support different behaviours well?
Thx for these questions.
I think you just put me in the right direction.
Probably the most common use cases
This is like going down the path where flash has been there, done that.
Few years back, everyone used to love these fancy Flash websites.
Things move around, fly past, jump, bounce etc.
Why? because it was easier to do it with flash.
Thats the past, everyone has realised that all of this does
I dont listen to music either while working :P

This is not new, if anyone here remembers DYNAPI. It was possible to
do these things way back in 2000 (or earlier maybe).
Indeed. Bi-directionally scrolling the browser viewport with JS has
been possible (and used) for quite a lng time now.
I strongly disagree on 'no value added', though.

There is that site dedicated to wireframes, no? Might be good.
The wall of deliverables is an interesting idea.

Yes. I am just looking at some web stats for a clients site, out of 12,000
visits today, only 2500 had a pdf viewer. This site is mainly focused on
consumers so these stats may not apply to your site.

So what to do?
A little bit of javascript magic. Use javascript to test if the user has a
pdf reader, if not show them the link to download it.
The issue seams to be people don't know what Acrobat is and then combine
the web stats I gave before, with Caroline findings, and it looks scary.

I love the built-in viewer in Google Docs. I wonder if there's an API for
calling that an viewing the doc directly in the web page without needing the
reader software/plug-in installed? That'd be the easiest solution from the
user's standpoint.

There might be a bit of a problem with this approach. The browser can only
detect whether the user has a reader configured to load as a plugin. That
rules out users in firms with paranoid IT departments, which sometimes
install reader as a stand-alone for security purposes, and also users who
have
Another problem with relying on Javascript is of course that some
users may have it disabled for whatever reason (their choice of user
agent, paranoid IT departments, whatever). To be honest I don't think
this group of users is that high these days, but it's important enough
to consider some

really THIS necessary, actually?
For your own protection, if for no other reason, you need to have a
more substantial understanding of these issues. You may or may not
agree on the level of importance that Dave assigns them in this
