[Design] Fwd: Processing Dogfood Feedback

[Mimi Yin]

Hi Daniel,
I don't think we have any preconceptions about this. So the short  
answer is both: both reactive and proactive.

Reactive, we already have a good sense of what that's like, with the  
dogfooding discussions that have been going on. Proactive, ideas for  
new designs, we're a little fuzzier on. I think we will need to set  
up an area on the wiki where people can file ideas, so we don't lose  
them. Then when it's time to discuss planning, we can review the  
ideas and suggestions people have contributed and discuss them in the  
context of goals and tenets for future releases.

The wiki is an area where we know we need more work, but it's not  
clear right now what that work is and who's going to do it or when.

We will keep the list updated on that issue because I believe  
expanding the wiki to include active community participation will be  
a key piece of our collaborative design process.

Mimi :o)
