To the IxDA's mission points of Evangelism and Education, should we
work to create a "Hall of Fame" site touting the accomplishments of
innovators in computer interaction design?
Two things:
1. Hall of Fame is an awful way to think of it. The purpose of
creating a list seems to be more about noting influencers and
innovators, understanding what they did, what they contributed, what
ideas they formulated that last to today, and making sure that
knowledge is passed down.
2. Whenever I refer to "interaction" design being about computers and
software, I get the third degree from way too many people on this
list. I have no problem creating a list of influential people that
should be studied for the purposes of learning and evolving the
profession, but I thought that the two things that were verboten on
this list was claiming or otherwise tying IxD as a digital technology
based craft or that an interaction designer should be expected to know
how to draw.
