RE: Decentraland's Digital Landscape

in #utopian-io6 years ago

Okay, thank you for your feedback. As feedback for Utopian, I would suggest consider either re-wording or re-labeling the "Ideas" category, as after reading that guide and your comment that my post is not "suggesting new features" it seems that there's a heavy bias toward "ideas of things to add to the project" (features), rather than "ideas for future changes to the project" (an idea in a broader term).

Having the "Ideas" category focus on "suggesting new features" seem to me to limits the possibility of contributing to a project like Decentraland where it's in a formative state, and limits the possibility of a contribution proposing the removal of some aspect of the project (is that still a "feature" if it's not "adding something new"?), that would benefit the project in the long run.

If I were to rephrase my comments more like "change the appearance of the road structures from a realistic road on a hillside to a floating road with nothing suspending it", would that be a "feature", then? I couched my suggestions more like "when you do create the appearance of the road structures, consider making them look like a floating road with nothing supporting it", because the application is still in development and there's no code specifically for that component yet, but the point is the same, right? I would think "Idea" contributions to projects that are in the early stages like this would be beneficial in giving suggestions/direction so that the code gets written the most beneficial way the first time, rather than having to wait until they have some code output and then suggest re-working it?

If the focus Utopian wants to have is really on feature suggestions, my suggestion would be to rename "Ideas" to "Feature Ideas", to make it clear that it's a more focused, narrow type of idea, and more closely related to the "Development" contribution (a "Feature ideas" post could lead directly to a "Development" post where a developer then implements the described idea).

Thank you for your feedback, I really appreciate it. We will try to re-word the name of the category to make it more clear.
