...Try to figure out what the point of your product is.
That’s where we imagine more improvement will be?
Do you agree?
It is - "Who will be reading this?" and figure it out from their point of view.
Are these people tech-savvy? Try to figure out the user persona.
To who?
You mean fire up a comment?
Where will that email be posted?
You can comment.
OK, I see.
All right - so what you just said is what...
You know what would be cool if you want to get people engaged? Have a countdown there.
It could be something fun, well, engaging. Not necessarily fun, but at least people are like, "Oh, we really have to get people on this thing." [referring to time running out to pass the agenda]
Is that at the bottom? It’s all the way at bottom. [pointing to vTaiwan’s front page on a cetain topic]
Oh, I thought...
It’s not necessarily a slide.
It’s just on every discussion.
Right, I was just going to say that, because we’re doing crowdsourcing agenda.
They spend millions of dollars in UI/UX. Just use their UI, open source of course.
Yeah, so we don’t have to rack our brains to try to reinvent the wheel.
You don’t have the mock‑up?
He’s got it. Wow, look at that page. [new vTaiwan landing page is shown on Marc’s laptop as PDF/image]
You have airplay?
I understood that one.
Nice photo. By the way, you guys should have a professional photographer here to take pictures. [referring to banner in new vTaiwan mock-up]
Yeah, put him to use. - What goes in here? [referring to upper banner of new vTaiwan] - Do you guys have a proper site,"digital ministry"?
OK.
These are each of the topics? [referring to lower part of site with several images]
I understand.
Is it important to the viewer to see who introduced this? [referring to particular issue presented up for debate]
No, I mean like the person; or no?
Is it?
It’s just a suggestion.
Well just personification of an idea.
Sure.
People engage more with a person than a concept, abstract.
Even if there’s not a photo, at least the name. There it just shows the ministry, right? [referring to current UI]
Couldn’t it be...
Yeah.
Yeah, you’re welcome.
That’s why I’m here, to help you out. (laughs)
Right.
...in common to talk about.
If you get to talk and you get to know the person, then you have a better chance of creating constructive criticism.
I’m not saying necessarily the faces. It’s just more of personifying it with a name, but yeah, faces obviously are a plus.
Right... In the meantime: You were in Europe?
Where did you go?
Nice, did you like Madrid? How was that?
Are you going to go to Iceland?
