Boriss, Laura Miyakawa and Atul had a phone meeting on April 27, 2010 to discuss the status of the project. Notes: | |||
* The heuristic for mapping Herdict raw data (the # of reports inaccessible vs. accessible) to definitive statements that can help average users (see Boriss' mockups) is unclear, and will probably need to be iterated on. | |||
* Exactly what Herdict's data can help average users with, especially insofar as [http://jboriss.wordpress.com/2010/01/04/herdict-and-its-tasty-anonymized-aggregated-data/ Boriss' mockups] are concerned, is unclear: the statement "Your network Firewall is preventing access to this website", for instance, simply doesn't appear to be something that Herdict's data can imply. | |||
* A number of aspects of Boriss' mockups like "Did you mean" are actually covered by cbartley's patch in bug {{bug|482874}}. | |||
* Atul's addon prototype is missing two key features: a "What is Herdict?" link and a mechanism to submit data on an inaccessible site to Herdict. | |||
The next steps are for Boriss and Atul to regroup and figure out what the scope of this project is: if Herdict can only help us with statements like "This site is being reported as inaccessible in China", do we want to limit its scope to that, or do we want to expand the project's scope to include more things that can help make network error pages more helpful, such as bug 482874? | |||
After the scoping is determined, we'll figure out what the roadmap for the project is. | |||
