I'm just advocating objectivity and consideration, rather than optimism.
I trust that Todd put a lot of individual thought into the original system, but
that didn't stop confusion and peoples feelings getting hurt. The replacement
should be thought out *very* carefully.
Within minutes of the original system coming online, several people had
pinpointed potential problems - many of which came to life. Maybe LUGNET should
go back to its roots and have an 'experimental' test server or area which could
test out new features, and give an idea of the technical and social problems
that could be caused. No matter how smart Todd is, a group of indivuals using
LUGNET via a test-interface/server/whatever will always be able to come up with
more insights than one person.
This would also stop confusion and annoyance to casual users who (suprise!)
just want to talk about LEGO, and don't care that much about the latest fun
features.
I'm all for playing with new geeky toys, but from some private email recently..
I'm starting to understand that it **REALLY** bugs some of the casual users, as
features come and go. Testing features on the main server also means that they
can't be tweaked as often as would be productive - on a test interface they
could be overhauled as necessary - once you implement something on your main
server it's not as easy to just pull it down and start again.
