As some of you know, a small group of people recently got together via an IxDA Basecamp acct to try to come up with definitions for common terms, including UCD, ACD, and genius design.
This has proven more than a little frustrating, as expected. So far, we haven't even all been able to agree that these terms need defining (and no, I don't know why someone would join a definitions project without first believing a definition needs to be created, but that's a different matter). I very much believe the project is worth pursuing, for many reasons, but I think I've come to realize I simply don't care enough about defining these concepts to persevere the battle. There may be great potential benefits to the design community in completing the project, but I have too many other things to do right now that are far more important to me, and those must be tended to first. Regardless, I wanted to mention that the group is still going on and that you can contact David Malouf about joining it. I encourage you to get involved if you too believe there is value in defining these key terms that get debated so frequently on this and other lists.
