Steve,

I'm glad to hear you had a chance to visit with your daughter!

The audiences and associated important tasks were discussed on the last call and captured in the minutes. I will ensure that the result of our discussion later today will be captured on or under the UI redesign wiki page. And I think many agree with you that for an "ordinary user" audience, less and simpler is better.

Hope you can make it,
Tom

I'm going to try to make this call. But, our daughter has been visiting, and this afternoon we have to put her on a plane taking her back overseas. So, depending on how things go locally, I may miss the call.

Looking at the list of topics above, and the two urls, I don't see the word "audience" on either page ... where would I go to see "tasks each audience needs to accomplish" ?

Also,increasingly, here at Brown we're thinking of embedding a simple UI within various contexts (eg where an instructor manages groups and services to support their course; similar to the thinking behind Duke's Toolkit).

Also, #4 under Community requests:

Visual display of groups impacting membership of a given group.
Would illustrate subgroups and composite factors, perhaps expanded by levels.

We think its VERY important to hide some of the "plumbing" from a user who is is tweaking a group that is based on data from a business system. They need to see the membership, but we think its just plain confusing to show them the base group and a separate GUESTS group, which are then combined into the *REAL* group.

Here's an example of what I mean (described in a posting on may 29):

We have a potential mockup available here, and are interested in comments and
feedback:
