I may never finish a case study or review but i do have lots little observations and photos to share. Definitely would be good to be able to post at least two images for close-ups of exhibit text. The ability to post a question would be really useful too. Erik Hey Jim,

I really like this idea. I may never finish a case study or review but i do have lots little observations and photos to share. Definitely would be good to be able to post at least two images for close-ups of exhibit text. The ability to post a question would be really useful too.

I've wanted to ask questions about who's using what media and technology out there but haven't yet found a slick way to do so. Cheers! Jim,

We are hoping to get the funding to develop the bits feature. The bug tracking software had an DNS issue that has since been resolved. We appreciate "suggestions" idea--the blog serves some of this function. We don't currently have a remember my log in function (if you use Firefox its built, true of IE as well.) Jim Erik,

I find the case study format restrictive, though in my mind case study, I tried to ignore the format. I'd especially like to be able to embed pictures in my post, not on the side. A bits format sounds useful. Jim, are you reading this? I tried to report a bug, but there was a bug in the report a bug feature. It took me to ideum. What does that have to do with it? I think the main exhibit files page needs a "suggestions" link. Also it could use a help page. When I was doing my case study, I was looking for info about how to control the order of the photos and whether I could add formatting. It seems that some wiki style formatting works. And one more thing, exhibit files doesn't do a good job a remembering my login. Several times I have not logged in because I misremembered it and didn't want to dig though my email to find it.

We’re hoping we can have conversations where members can attach their own images, videos, links, etc. I think it would be a great way for us to talk about exhibits. Jim Kathy, Yes!

I think this is going to be a very important feature. Many people have told me that they don't have a whole case study or review, but have a question or want to share something about their exhibit development and design process. I'm wondering if, in addition to the "one image, or just an idea" we will be able to add two ideas, or two images. It looks like people who comment on the "'bits" will be able to add their own image, right? That could be a way for a conversation in the form of linked images. K Thanks Jim.
