Hey guys,
I haven't said much before on this group and let me say this. I have found
some nuggets in what every one shares here.
So here's my thing. It seems clear that there's a need for more "flexibility
& organization" in our medium. I can create a community site for the SA UX
group. We can then build in functionality as we go along. For starters I see
bookmarking functionality, think delicious, as well as a co-authored blog as
Loki suggested? This could be the destination for UX by the community where
people will get great resources. Contributions as it were ca range from
small (say links) to bigish (e.g. tutorials). Oh and we'd be able to
syndicate what we tweet, perhaps with #saux? So there... a central place,
searchable, accessible informative and open.
By now you prooly realize, I'm into knowledge managent tools :-)
I'm thinking some of you are designers and the lot is experienced in UX
choreography :) so we could create some sort of masterpiece here... Or am I
getting ahead of myself here?
Laterz,
Noto
