Ahoy'all!
1st post here, and ever - to a mailinglist.
I'm Beber and I'm an enthusiast of all things that will spark some light
on these times. Also, I do campaigns, websites, some graphics,... for
the commons. Sensing where the world is heading and looking for what is
needed to make it ours, the FreedomBox concept seems essential to me. So
I was wondering how I, as a not-so-techie, could participate in this
endeavour.
Having searching/reading a bit though the archive I'm a bit disappointed
that there hasn't been any talk of users, experience, interface,
marketing or anything related. The closest I found is a thread on a
theme for the website/wiki and that spark seems sizzled do death by 'the
reign of the dev' (no offence intended - dudes, your work is awesome#! -
just a bit too complexicatiing sometimes), result: no progress. Even
though I this is an absolute gem of a product and I'm sure you know why
you're working on this project, it seems to me that
thinking-outside-of-the-dev-box is somewhat needed here.
As Chris put it, a "way to ensure massive uptake", will be the only way
to get this puppy to live up to it's potential. And then come the legion
of
normies/grannies/moms&pops-ies/kiddies/azerties/could-you-fix-my-computer-ies/you-get-the-picture-ies/...
in short, your regular nightmare. Now I know very well it's a plug that
will be doing some very good things just as / out of the box, but for it
to be truly interesting for the nitwit masses (myself included), it will
need some serious unique selling proposition(s), need/want fullfillment
and therefore marketing. Fearmongering is old-dying-world
(winningthestorywars.com), welcome empowerment!
Also, responsive is a must!
So basically: +1
Arrr,
B
