Certainly, it isn't perfect. However, I view it as a foot in the door.
This is the only venture in this direction I know of that seems to
have legs. I think it is worth getting behind, even if we don't agree
with everything on it.
Furthermore, let's pretend that it does have legs and actually
happens. If IxDA isn't involved in it, where does that leave us in
relation to the rest of the design community?
Another point of reference is the work of Richard Buchanan and Tony
Golsby-Smith with the Australian Tax Office, which started by looking
at a redesign of the tax forms but ended up redesigning the entire tax
system.

Folks... IxD is not even a "legit" profession yet You're still
arguing and debating what the design curriculum is! Let's not get
ahead of ourselves, shall we? 8^)
Okay, so IxDA is the new kid on the block as a professional
organization. However, considering the success of the first conference
(and the imminently successful second) and the extremely active
international membership, not to mention the caliber of professionals
in our membership, I think we deserve some street cred.

When I am working on a problem,
I never think about beauty.
I think only of how to solve the problem.
But when I have finished,
if the solution is not beautiful,
I know it is wrong.
- R. Buckminster Fuller
