------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Aug 22 17:02:29 +0000 2007 ------- Great to see this coming along! A few comments on the display of the notes (based on wiki proposal): - Author name and datetime should be included in the sidebar note as shown in the mockup. However, maybe it should be at the top of the note instead as it's one of the first things you'll look for. Also, the metadata portion of the note could be a darker shade to differentiate from the rest of the note. - The connectors to the target text area are good. But please no animated or flashing connectors; that would be very annoying. - When mousing over the target area (in instances where the notes sidebar is turn off), a tooltip should appear (as it currently does in OOo) with both the note and the author/time metadata. - Also when mousing over a target area, with notes sidebar visible, maybe the note itself could blink a couple of times. That way if there are a lot of notes in a paragraph, and it's not so obvious which connector lines connect to which notes, it would be easy to identify the note in question. A general request regarding useability. - Please include the possibility "reply" to notes, or at least to link one note to another; that way if user B comments on something from user A, it's obvious which note he's referring to. (In MS Word, if you're clicked inside a note, and then click "add note", the new note that is created has an id # that references the original note that the user was inside.) Here's how I suggest OOo implement this: If user is inside a note (in the sidebar) and clicks on "add note", then a new note is created. Part of the metadata of that new note would contain a "reply to ###" where ### is a hyperlink to the original note (a bit how discussion forums often do this). That way you don't need any sort of lines or structure connecting the two. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
