Re: [IxDA Discuss] Tools for communicating styles to developers
Gabriel, I create my wireframes and mockups in Illustrator. I document style information in a word doc (style name, description, specs, etc.) As the style information evolves, I update the word doc. I usually don't go back to the illustrator file unless there are major changes. Jim . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

[IxDA Discuss] Texas IxDers
I was wondering if there were any Texas IxD people on list... specifically Austin or San Antonio. If so, do you have any IxD type meetups?

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Target.com Loses Accessibility Law Suit
I had a talk abotu sam thing a few years back with the director of W3C WAI initiative, and the approach we talked about was really being standards driven. There need to be one set of standards that both content providers and technology creators follow (Browers, assistive technologies etc..) Part of the problem is that everyone wants to have their own set of mini standards , so each browser behaves differently, each government wants to define it's own version of accessibility laws. W3C has been making effort to talk to technology companies as well governments to adopt one set of standards. If this is done, then content provider's responsibility would typically stop at complying with standards and the rest would be technology responsibility.

[IxDA Discuss] [Event] Reminder : Chicago IxDA - Oct. 10th - Design Pattern Libraries
Hello, fellow Chicagoans. Hope to see you next Wednesday, October 10th! Please RSVP so we can ensure enough space: http://www.manifestdigital.com/survey/ixda/ --- If you're in the Chicago-land area, please join us for our first topic-oriented event! Topic: The 'WHAT', 'WHY' and 'HOW' of design pattern libraries No one seems to be talking about pattern libraries these days, so we thought we'd be the first to... oh, wait. Ok, so everyone is talking about them. But WHAT are they? WHY are they worth our consideration? HOW do you create and utilize one (and how far do you have to go for it to be useful)? Presenter(s): You...and the well-stocked audience. This is not the event where you will only hear one perspective on this matter. You, too, will play a role as questioner, presenter, and solution-maker. Are you in the process of solving this puzzle for yourself or your organization, or are you wondering where to begin? Share your point-of-view. Bring examples [digital, paper or mimed], tell stories, share your concerns. For starters, we'll hear how the problem is being approached by internal teams [Orbitz] and agencies [Manifest Digital]. It's certain to be a lively discussion! When: Wednesday, October 10th Where: Manifest Digital 1023 W. Fulton Market Chicago, IL 60607 [we thank them for generously hosting this month's event] Time: 6:30 - 8:00pm First hour will be dedicated to the topic, last thirty minutes will be dedicated to getting to know one another and discovering what you're looking for in a local group. RSVP: http://www.manifestdigital.com/survey/ixda/ Let us know sooner rather than later if you are coming, as we'll need to move locations to another Loop location if we exceed a certain size. You should come... the local group that's met so far has been engaging inspiring, and there's a lot to learn from each other! Questions? Let me know.

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Introducing myself
Hey Matthew. Yvonne Shek gave a really excellent presentation on Usability Coaching at the Austin UPA conference this year (I'm based in Austin, myself). She's part of a Toronto gourp called UX Irregulars who might be just the group that you're looking for. I lurk on their list, and they seem really cool. http://groups.google.com/group/UXIrregulars Good luck! Jay Rogers Manager, User Experience Vignette Corporation - Original Message From: Matthew Nish-Lapidus [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: discuss@lists.interactiondesigners.com Sent: Thursday, October 4, 2007 10:04:32 AM Subject: [IxDA Discuss] Introducing myself Hi, Since I just joined the list I thought I'd write a quick note to introduce myself. I'm Matt Nish-Lapidus, an Interaction Designer from Toronto Ontario, Canada. I've been involved in the web in various ways since 1995 and just recently completely switched focus to web based interaction design. Unlike a lot of people I meet who are interested in IxD, my professional background is in interface development/engineering and my education is in fine art. I'm not really a graphic designer, but I have a strong interest in design in general. My main focus is on usability and interface design for the web. That's a little about my background.. I hope to learn a lot from this community and am looking forward to getting involved. Is there anybody else here from Toronto? Or are there any Toronto groups that people here have heard about? Matt.

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Texas IxDers
Thanks for all the replies everyone. This helps greatly as I look at relocating to that area. I know for one that I'd love to see the group be more active if possible. :-) David On Fri, 5 Oct 2007 12:48:18, David Malouf [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Russell? You there?

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Distinguishing between Internal and External links
Would it be more appropriate to let users informed where the links are going to lead them to? In users point of view, An informative link would appear less deceiving, if you failed to saftisfy them with the information by internal links. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
