Various thoughts for v3

Comment comment by Brandon on 22 May 2007

They may be kind of all-over-the-place, and might even contradict one another, but here are some thoughts:

  • I’d like there to be something on a coffeeshop topic or news post that indicates what section of OmniNerd you are in. As it is now, if you visit one of those pages and it’s your first time to O-Nerd, you may not have a clear way to determine if what you’re looking at is all OmniNerd does or what.
  • The user should be able to insert information on the books in their booklist so as to to be able to easily insert full references from them into articles.
  • The comment section on articles needs to be more visible.
  • OmniMarkup should have the ability to create tables.
  • O-Nerd should provide code to allow other sites to have “submit to O-Nerd” buttons.
  • It should be more obvious how to contact the author of a particular article.

Also, some thoughts I've received from others:

  • Be able to add links to the poll questions and options.
  • A “From the Archives” section on the front page to highlight past content that may be worthy of review due to current events/discussions.

RE: Various thoughts for v3 by gnifyus :: NR7

News pieces becoming 'buried' quickly might be another problem as hopefully more and more items begin to be submitted. A way to keep items from being "out of sight out of mind" so quickly will have to be addressed so people who log on only every few days don't miss entire rotations of content.

RE: Various thoughts for v3 by markmcb :: NR7

In order (agree = working on it):

  1. agree
  2. this is a long-standing request. Perhaps a wiki style "reference" field could be added on a per-isbn basis. This needs more thought.
  3. agree
  4. markup suggestion?
  5. agree
  6. agree
  7. probably not (IMHO)
  8. this is a good idea ... need more development in terms of how it would work

... and aren't you writing the code for the site? Get back to work!
