Re: [GMG-Devel] December 3rd, our monthly IRC meeting!

[Jef van Schendel]

Hi all!

Two more small items I'd like to discuss...

- Ticket #466 "Use of "Submit" in site copy is sterile and not as
friendly and welcoming as it could be". I'd really like to change this
soon to something more suitable. How can we improve the wording here?
Some alternatives have been mentioned in the bug report, but which one
should we pick? Link: http://bugs.foocorp.net/issues/466

- The concept and naming of "favourites". We'll (hopefully) be able to
"favourite" media soon, which I *think* means that 1) it'll work like
a "I like this" comment, a quick token of appreciation, 2) it'll be
added to your list of favourites so you can save and promote it, and
3) we could maybe use the number of favourites as a ranking. What I'd
like to know is: is that the intended purpose? If so, should we name
them favo(u)rites or something else? "Like", "love", "save",
"appreciate", "heart", "high five" and many more could all be
contenders. And the name should be consistent with the action and
purpose, of course. So I'd like to clear up how and why we will use
favourites and what we should call them.
