I think it all ended up being a little more work than was initially imagined. Second, I can't comment on most of it, because I don't really have clear idea of how different this is from a (moderated) listserver. Is it just something that mirrors a mailing list onto the web and allows messages to be initiated from the web? (If so, that's seems pretty cool. But probably most participants, at least the active ones, will be participating through email. And since email is pretty solid these days, the low-end participant should probably be conceived of as a vt100 lynx user on a 9600 modem, which means, by the way, that I, at home, am an ideal usability testee.) Third, I'm not sure if I'm actually on the chi announcements list, and I should be . . . Fourth, I think I can comment/confirm/approve the couple of things here and I hereby do so: > Steve Cherry has approved our having such a discussion associated with "interactions" awards. Wayne Graves, manager of MIS at ACM, has asked Michael Clore of acm.org to help us get it set up. Michael has agreed to help a volunteer get registered and set up and maintaint the software. Absolutely. There should be a link to and from the magazine's home page, the magazine logo can go on the page, and so on. > B. If the debate on "Quality and Interaction" has (in the opinion of the Interactions Design Award Board) significantly improved the judging process, the mediator (and any invited discussion participants) can summarize their major accomplishments of the year in a 6500 word essay to be published in the Awards issue of the magazine ACM interactions. Again, absolutely, just keeping in mind that we can't do a 10+ page article in the magazine without there being something visual in it. Finally, we need some text that can be turned into a one-page announcement for the magazine, I would guess that we won't be close enough for the July issue (deadline would be, like, now) so we should get something in about a 4 or 5 weeks for the September issue. -steven- -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Users will need the capability to navigate freely in spaces with millions of objects.

I appreciate that e-mail is maybe more accessible for some folk than the web. However, we are trying to push the practice forward as much as possible, so we want to try the web discussion. Maybe there is a way to take e-mail submissions into the discussion somehow. Larry, what do you think? I hope by now someone has added you to announcements.chi. If they have, you'll know: announcements are a daily event. I'd like to leave the text announcement for the magazine between you and Tony.
