That's the part that resonated with me. Am working with a couple of people on a document and that very "feature" drives me nuts and makes it difficult to keep track of where responses might have been made in the context of a wave. You could put that last response on top, but that spoils the continuity of the document and treating it like Word tracks changes doesn't work either
- wtallis 17y agoWave seems to afford multiple interaction conventions, but unlike with email (where we know the pros and cons of top-posting, for example), it isn't obvious what way works best, and for what situations. It seems unlikely that we'll know anytime soon, either, given that Wave is meant to encompass a wider range of tasks than any of the systems is is typically compared with. Right now, we have the conventions of the linear or hierarchical conversations used by email and web forums, and we have the conventions of the collaboratively annotated and edited documents, but we don't know which to use in the gray areas, because that decision has previously been made by the choice of program. It feels to me like we're driving cars prior to the invention of turn signals, brake lights, stop signs, and demarcated lanes. We have to use trial and error to evolve the rules of the road.
