- Will the sidebar design work well with lots of data? (say, in the pim realm)
- The supposition is that it supports lots of data better than existing sidebars.
- Will some form of hierarchy be necessary to support lots of data, lots of projects, etc.?
- Yes, although we will have to be careful so that users don't confuse "hierarchical" UI affordances with a hierarchical data model.
- Arguably, most people only click on about 10 folders in their sidebar regularly. Users should be able to tag items ad-hoc, but not all tags are collections.
- Do we get more bang for the buck by having sections in the summary pane?
- How will the sidebar design work with IMAP in the longer term?
- This depends on how we define "work with IMAP". It may be hard
- How will the entire extended universe of information fit into the sidebar/kind filter design?
- This may need more preparation...
- Kinds will be extended to include:
- Resources: Documents, Spreadsheets, Presentations
- Media: Books, Music, Movies, Pictures
- Directories: Contacts, Product catalogs, Profiles
- There are 3 Kinds of collections:
- Generic: collections around a concept
- Who
- Project
- Timeframe
- Sidebar can't be the affordance for organizing all of your data. Instead, it's a top ten list.
