I look at my dev priorities (1 usability, 2 attracting users and 3 scaling) and I guess this falls under 3; our basic stage design allows the user to construct different combinations of central scenes and peripheral tracks. We can therefore accomodate the preferences of any user which is one requirement of scaling. </blockquote> In my view Conseo's ideas are also very much for 1 usability and 2 attracting users, especially the horizontal bridge-layout. I think, for now the best would be, if we could come out with a combined version of your two proposals, instead of two competing ones.

Also the colouring is more mild to the eyes imo. <blockquote cite="mid:53171950.nKkN5FKgsv@benjamin.whiletaker.homeip.net" type="cite">#3 has already been patched in a previous session. </blockquote> That is an interesting use-case. When would that happen? When would you come to the bridge and see an old already matched diff? If I think of something like a diff-history or just an old diff-link, wouldn't it then be better to still show the different texts and just make somehow clear that by now this has changed? <blockquote cite="mid:53171950.nKkN5FKgsv@benjamin.whiletaker.homeip.net" type="cite">2) <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://whiletaker.homeip.net/mockups/diffbridge/8/8b.xht">http://whiletaker.homeip.net/mockups/diffbridge/8/8b.xht</a> Show the footings. I have aligned them ascending, to emphasize that it is a different dimension (orthogonal information) and also underline the direction of votespace. </blockquote> I like the idea of including the names of the authors, i.e. the titles of the drafts, into the layout of the footings. But all together it looks to confusing to me atm. The ascending is not necessary imo and it would look more like in the current vote-space if it was horizontally. Which by the way is why I like the horizontal bridge-layout so much: it is like a zoomed in piece of the vote-space (and to some degree this also applies to a future circular vote-space imo). <blockquote cite="mid:53171950.nKkN5FKgsv@benjamin.whiletaker.homeip.net" type="cite">Parallel voters for Ed. and Bu. are left out for now to avoid confusion. You can directly navigate to other differences by hitting the white difference symbols on the left of Mi. and on the right of Ed. Do you think this is handy? </blockquote> I like the clickable difference symbols a lot too, but I see problems. Some of the most important diffs will be to your co-voters, I guess, which are missing here. And the ones to your candidates co-voters, which are missing in Mike's version too. How, if we had one of Mikes footings atop each draft in the bridge, i.e. two of them? This way we could navigate from within the bridge to truly every diff of the tree. Maybe to much? Btw, co-voters can easily count up to 15 or so. <blockquote cite="mid:53171950.nKkN5FKgsv@benjamin.whiletaker.homeip.net" type="cite">3) <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://whiletaker.homeip.net/mockups/diffbridge/8/8c.xht">http://whiletaker.homeip.net/mockups/diffbridge/8/8c.xht</a> Click (pin) a communication element.

Maybe it could get a bit more clear, that at this point it is still just a preview and must still be accepted. Maybe "Save preview" on top instead of "Accept selected"? The sliders look a bit confusing to my eyes. hm ... <blockquote cite="mid:53171950.nKkN5FKgsv@benjamin.whiletaker.homeip.net" type="cite"> 5) <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://whiletaker.homeip.net/mockups/diffbridge/8/8e.xht">http://whiletaker.homeip.net/mockups/diffbridge/8/8e.xht</a> Ed hovers the first difference and all communication items relating to this difference are highlighted in its colour in the feed track.</blockquote> Yes, good idea!
