A shared vocabulary of terms for all designers/devs/content strategists/etc. to refer to

bnvk commented 9 years ago

@una interesting to better understand what you mean in this context. Care to elaborate? :)

GarthDB commented 9 years ago

I think one of the main goals is to establish a glossary of terms that we use frequently use and with their definitions so we can be on the same page when discussing topics.

@GarthDB right, I get the need for disambiguation, but like what words are particularly ambiguous / causing issues? What scope of words are talking about? Does this pertain to chat specifically?

Feel free to post things and create a list of terms :)

@winterdamsel may know more about this.

As far as I know from our research, there are often communication barriers between devs and designers. This seems to be only partly caused by lack of common words. Different values and experiences may play a large role too.

What I would suggest is some sort of "how to understand … better" with a list of common tools which programmers/designers use, and what typical values/misunderstandings are. (It may get us a bit into stereotype space though)

Migrated this to website repo. Thanks for the nice idea @una :)
