Action Items
- Agree to meet for a couple hours (Tuesday?) at Digital ID world to whiteboard Relbutton states and behavior as the beginnings of a relbutton spec
- Keith to create a functional spec stub
- Sean, Dean, Chris and other marketing folk to update us on efforts surrounding clarification and messaging around relbutton and VRM, ala the "Tim Berners Lee description of the web circa 1990" - potentially to include something like Common Craft's use of online narratives
Other notes, questions, comments
- Good stuff going on with Phil Windley - a related relbutton CRM/VRM effort making progress
- Important but difficult attribute of relbutton is that it must be something that the user controls; they can assert/control/have autonomy over; not to be confused with data ownership
- Some reasons for a functional spec
- Determine if Relationship cards be used to implement the relbutton
- Determine what might we build and what areas should we leave alone
- Determine what are the complexities and how might we smooth them out
- Public radio app should not "lay tracks in the snow"
- Functional spec to contain:
- universal characteristics / attributes (requirements)
- states that relbutton can be in
- descriptions of standard behavior (this happens then this happens)
- user/vendor expectations as to what the relbutton can and should do
- affordances
- use cases
- IPR - how do we deal with it w/ functional spec without holding us back? Be explicit about ownership up front if possible
