[EHPweb] Prototype Mapping Interface

[Eric M Martinez]

Thank you all for your valuable feedback on this prototype interface.  
Jeremy and I are reviewing comments as they arrive and working on  
addressing the major concerns. Unfortunately simple email is not very  
organized. In an effort to organize our thoughts a bit more, I've  
aggregated your comments, and added some of my own to a Google Wave.

For those who already had a wave account of which I was aware, I've  
already added you to the wave. If you do not have a wave account and  
would like to stay updated and/or contribute to the discussion, you  
can create an account by visiting, http://wave.google.com/ . Send me  
your Google Wave account username and I'll add you to the wave. If you  
do not have any desire to use Google Wave, I have also linked a Google  
Doc to the conversation. The document will stay updated with the wave,  
but it is read-only so if you wish to contribute to the discussion  
please consider getting a Google Wave account. If you really don't  
want to learn Google Wave (it's easy, really), and you really don't  
want to view a Google Document, and you really really want to  
contribute your thoughts, feel free to email them to me. The very very  
real downside to emailing me to act as your proxy are as follows:

	1) I will interpret what you say to me and edit the wave as I feel  
best appropriate. While not intentionally malicious, I may get your  
thought jumbled in the process.
	2) My email is very very busy. I may not add your thoughts until much  
later or at all. Again, this is not malicious but just a side-effect  
of emails getting buried in my inbox in a matter of minutes.
	3) As a side-effect of (1) and (2), comments entered by-proxy are  
considered less important and given lesser weight.

Furthermore, if you email comments or questions to me to add to the  
wave by-proxy, do not expect an email response. I will add the comment/ 
question to the wave and respond in the wave. Google wave is a  
powerful collaboration tool, much more so than email.

Finally, when modifying the wave, please take the time to read the,  
"How to use this wave" section. This explains how the wave is set up  
and will keep the wave organized. If we can't keep our thoughts  
organized we have no hope to produce robust, feature-rich application.

Thanks,
	~Eric.
