<div> Hey Mike,<div><br></div><div>Good points. An email comment/suggestion box would already be a huge step forward, and might be the simplest thing to start off with. We can always reply to individual emails, and we can gradually evolve the system into an email-based discussion board/list in the future.
</div><div><br></div><div>We can also start a wiki-based page, but given how unwieldily long discussions are on the wiki, this might not be the best, especially for a new user who is hesitant to edit the wiki.</div><div>
<br>
</div><div>Of course, in the presence of no user-feedback on which one is best, we should do both!</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><font color="#888888"><div><br></div><div>Julius</div><div><br></div></font><div><div>

<br></div><div style="margin: 0px;">This is a great idea, but how we implement feedback should depend on what</div><div style="margin: 0px;">we expect out of it. Email might be the easiest way to go, but submitters</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;"> would not necessarily be expecting a response--more of a comment or</div><div style="margin: 0px;">suggestion box in that case. If we're looking to start a discussion with</div><div style="margin: 0px;">

Hi SC,</div><div style="margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><br></div><div style="margin: 0px;"> We really need some way for an average user to give feedback to the SC about</div><div style="margin: 0px;">how to make OWW better, how they currently use it, etc.
<span> </span>Outside of the</div><div style="margin: 0px;"> survey, or someone finding the steering committee page on their own, there is</div><div style="margin: 0px;">really no mechanism to get general community feedback on how we are doing, and
</div><div style="margin: 0px;">which direction we should take next. <span> </span>I am hoping that as the SC blog is used</div><div style="margin: 0px;">more regularly, there will be useful comments on the posts, but I don't think
</div><div style="margin: 0px;">that is enough.</div><div style="margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"> <br></div><div style="margin: 0px;">How about some sort of 'Feedback' link in the navigation bar?<span> </span>That way it can
</div><div style="margin: 0px;">be seen on every page so that people reaching OWW from Google for example can </div><div style="margin: 0px;">still give feedback.<span> </span>The link ideally would point to some sort of discussion
</div><div style="margin: 0px;">forum with topic threads etc., but for now should just bring up some page that </div><div style="margin: 0px;">a user could fill in to email <a href="mailto:feedback@openwetware.org" target="_blank">
feedback@openwetware.org</a> for example (email</div><div style="margin: 0px;">being simpler for newer users than editing the wiki). </div><div style="margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><br></div><div style="margin: 0px;">What do you think?
