As this is the developer list I¹d like to keep it quite technical here before we open it out to the main list for general feedback... However... In this instance I was really interested in this work (which came out of the last labs) because it solves a specific problem for N&R that being if you live on the border between say Cornwall and Devon how can we quickly and easily allow people to balance their content....? There are much bigger plans afoot for a proper solution to that and I don¹t want to get into that at the moment and certainly not on the developer list but this struck me as a very easy and quick way to offer functionality on the WIL sites...
But as you say... It would be very interesting to see how many people would actually use them. That¹s an interesting point actually should useability¹ be part of the developer list or is that something that should be kept to the main list? m On 9/1/08 15:08, "James Cridland" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Jan 8, 2008 3:16 PM, neil <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> >> Questions include: Is this intuitive?
