I just wanted add my plea to the board to get behind this in some way. I would be more than happy to help out if my help were needed or wanted. But mostly I would love to see this done.
Not only might we be able to come up with agreed upon frameworks/hierarchies/definitions, but we might also be able to correlate titles to practices. I agree with Robert that this could "...help IxDA gain more widespread respect from the larger community."

He also suggested a wiki as the tool of choice, which is a good idea. If IxDA has a Basecamp account, though, it might be prudent to compile a short list of people to include in a BC project, who can use a Writeboard to create these definitions and then toss them out to the list for feedback. Our definitions should go beyond UCD. Should also include ACD, genius design (likely a recap of Saffer's original definition, which is often misinterpreted or otherwise abused), and other processes/approaches. Perhaps the very act of defining these terms will help IxDA gain more widespread respect from the larger community. Can the IxDA board please speak up? How might we go about doing this? -- -Robert Hoekman, Jr.- CEO / Principal Experience Designer Miskeeto, LLC - www.miskeeto.com ________________________________________________________________ *Come to IxDA Interaction08 | Savannah* February 8-10, 2008 in Savannah, GA, USA Register today: http://interaction08.ixda.org/ ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
