Thanks for producing the feedback survey and putting a report together. I like the polling format of providing screenshots for people to annotate, and the report is well-organised and succinct. Some interesting points for discussion. Agreed: * p13, "Browse" link — if we make it clear on the front page info that Snowdrift.coop is for funding projects, then it'd be clear also what "Browse" refers to, e.g. no need to label "Browse projects". * p13, "free the commons" — aiui the slogan isn't final, but confirm with wolftune. There are other slogan ideas in the wiki. The current one summarises the project goal and I don't have any clever suggestions at this time. * p14, "How it Works" and "Join Us" could maybe share similar style, or both elements close in size to denote importance. * p20, replace planet graphic — this may change eventually. Questions: * p17, "Heavy users pay the same as small users? An admission fee is not free!" — I don't understand the comment, or how the heavy/small users comparison is relevant? * p20, remove coop arrow — what's wrong with the coop arrow? Items I'm unsure about: * p13, highlight the "free" in "free the commons" — my interpretion is it's not just "free" as in freedom, it's free in conjunction with the support of community, in the overall interests of community. * p14, prior knowledge — the problem is, although people don't need to know what the Snowdrift Dilemma is or the snowdrift imagery to appreciate some convenient way to support their favourite FLO projects, it's important in understanding why the pledge matching is introduced, one characteristic that makes Snowdrift.coop different from other funding sites. The "freely-licensed" part is another defining characteristic. If there is consensus that there are concepts which are important for people to know about before signing up, then the next question is finding a way to explain this simply and quickly before visitors join or leave. "Public goods" is one of those terminology questions I'd suggest discussing with wolftune, aiui there are specific reasons for using the term. * p20, putting Matching Pledge first — people may not be fully familiar with FLO, and How It Works should explain what they're pledging towards, then how they can pledge. Maybe the sustainability heading doesn't entirely capture the section, it may also include accountability policies/mechanisms and probably a reason why it wasn't merged with Matching Pledge. * p20, avoiding FLO acronym — does anyone have suggestions for better wording that can fully convey FLO? Just a few random thoughts on the topic.
