Good chat last night everyone! Primarily we agreed to explore ways to add depth to Better Letter without complicating beyond achievability. Here are the high points:
- Explore ways to integrate video into the design, including something as simple as embedding a link into the message (saves bandwidth and email size).
- Explore how to export geographic data from Better Letter to build maps based on who is writing letters through it.
- Research technology that would allow people with disabilities to use Better Letter (including options like voice recognition software).
- Incorporate comments and a Talk Back feature into the design.
- Try to locate a local (to either part of the team) coder who can help in the further development of Better Letter.
- Explore testing the product on KU and K-State student media web sites.
- Adopt the name Team Kansas.
- Continue to think of ways to improve Better Letter.
- Blog folks, blog!
