Tracking the newsroom bug-tracking idea
Tracking the newsroom bug-tracking idea
02/01/2005 09:42 PMI want to return to the idea I floated a few days ago about
bug-trackin
g software for newsrooms. The
comment
s response ranged from "neat idea!" to "it'll never work," so
let's look it over again.
What I imagined was something similar to the way open-source
software development projects manage bug reports. When people file
bugs against such a project, they go to a publicly available online
resource and enter a form that says "Here's a problem I encountered,"
and provide details. Different projects follow different
organizational structures, but generally speaking, other developers
will review the bug and try to classify it: Sometimes they'll say it's
a duplicate and point to previous entries in the database that dealt
with it; sometimes they'll say it's a simple problem and go fix it
right away and close it out; sometimes they'll say it's a big one and
leave it open to be dealt with in the future; sometimes they'll say
it's a "known bug" that for one reason or another is never going to be
fixed; sometimes they'll say it's not a bug at all.
For a newsroom, the idea is to provide a structure and a channel
for reader dissatisfaction. You wouldn't have to follow the software
model detail for detail, but the general outline could be valuable:
Provide a form for readers to enter complaints, one that requires them
to present details. Post the complaint publicly as soon as it's
entered, and record the publication's response in a reasonably prompt
fashion -- anything from "Thanks, we fixed the spelling on that name"
to "we chose the phrase 'private accounts' because it is an accurate
description of the president's proposal, and the label was in wide use
by supporters of the idea until very recently, so we do not plan to
stop using the term." The explanation is on record, and if other
readers keep filing the same complaint they can simply be pointed back
to the original answer. Spam? Just delete it. Letters to the editor
that don't have a specific complaint? Re-route them to the letters
box.
The most common objection seems to be, forget it -- this will
become another free-for-all for political partisans to work out their
agendas, another wide-open Internet forum that will degenerate into
circular debate. Such forums already exist, to be sure; the point of a
bug tracker is to avoid that outcome by choosing a narrower
environment for the feedback that allows you to quickly aggregate and
dispose of duplicate complaints, and that provides a public record of
responsiveness and accountability. If 500 people all holler that you
shouldn't say "private accounts," you can answer them once and be done
with it -- but you can point each individual complaint back to your
explanation, so those people understand that you actually heard them
and offered some sort of response. There's a big difference between
the silence of no response and "no, we're not doing that, here's why."
The latter won't satisfy everyone, but it at least acknowledges that
there's been an exchange on the subject.
Ross Karchner proposed a
somewhat different model based on wiki practices: "1) A publically
viewable changelog, where you can see, in detail, the changes made to
an article. 2) A place where the author(s) and editor(s) can discuss
the changes needed and made. This is also in public view..." I'm not
sure whether Ross means the changelog and the writer/editor dialogue
to commence from the first time the writer composed a draft, or only
upon publication. The former is, I think, too wide open -- even a
blogger has the right to compose a posting and revise it in private
before choosing to push the "publish" button. The latter is fine --
but since most reputable publications rarely change articles once
they're published, and note the changes as corrections if they do,
then it's just codifying an existing practice in slightly different
ways.
As for the idea of trying all this out at Salon: Who knows, I might
well advocate it, though my current on-leave status doesn't put me in
a good spot to work on it. But Salon has been dealing with the
back-and-forth of online criticism of our work for 9 years plus.
Whatever problems we may suffer from, a failure of responsiveness to
online feedback is not, I think, one of them, and we have a pretty
sturdy process for reviewing complaints fast and correcting them where
needed.
I think this approach would pay off best for a newsroom that is
having difficulty convincing readers that the publication is actually
listening to them. If you showed the public that you were recording
and responding to the issues they raised -- whether you end up
publishing a correction or simply saying, "We don't think that needs
correcting, and here's why" -- I think you'd start to bank some
confidence and trust pretty quickly.
I'm not suggesting that this idea is the single,
one-fix-solves-all-problems answer to the ills of journalism today.
It's a pragmatic, you-could-do-it-real-soon suggestion for beginning
to deal with professional journalism's biggest problem: the public's
loss of trust, which begins with the sense that media companies are
big institutions that pay no attention to their own mistakes.
Should The Web Experience Be More Like
The Desktop Experience?
Should The Web Experience Be More Like
The Desktop Experience?
05/28/2004 12:41 PMThere have been many people who haven't been thrilled with the state
of the user experience within the browser. After all, as simple as it
is, it also has quite a few limitations - especially compared to the
typical "windows" (lower case) interface that people are used to on
the desktop. Still, this article at IT-Analysis seems
positive
ly stunned that some company has worked out a way to build a
windows-like interface in the browser. They even point to a
(somewhat buggy)
demo
shopping site, that basically shows how a company could create a
shopping site that feels more like a traditional client-server
application using windows and the ability to drag and drop products
into a shopping cart. It's an interesting interface, but all it
really does is move that traditional interface into the browser.
Plenty of other companies, like Macromedia and Laszlo Systems, have
been working on other interactive interfaces within the browser as
well - so this specific offering doesn't seem all that new or
different. Others have recreated traditional applications (such as
office suites) within the browser as well - so the idea of "drag and
drop" within the browser isn't really that new or exciting. Some web
traditionalists have problems with many of these systems because they
"break the web." There are benefits to having things like standard
URLs that you can send to other people and a traditional hyperlink
system. More advanced interfaces are sometimes nice, but, so far,
many of them seem to cause more problems than they solve. For
example, the sample shopping site above had some confusing buttons at
the bottom, and once I clicked on one, the whole window closed and now
the page refuses to reload. Not the most user-friendly shopping
experience.

I just registered into Orkut,
thanks to an invitation
from Chris Pirillo --
thanks Chris!;-).
While the registration process was a bit tiring, Orkut UI and user
experience were
more pleasant than Friendster or LinkedIn.
It could use some improvements here and there, but at least it was
pleasant enough
for me to invited a bunch of friends and collegues, something I
haven't done with
other similiar services.
Hmm. It might be interesting to mix PKI with social
networking. For example,
I could issue Friend of Don certificates to my friends
that basically say
“I know this person to be trustworthy, smart, and nice enough
to be my friend.“
What uses would such certificate have? Nothing in the horizon
but I am wondering
what might lie beyond that...
If you are my friend and haven't received an invite from me,
just send me an e-mail.
I just grabbed the names that were handy and definitely missed many
of you whom I
would be proud to call a friend.

03/13/2003 10:22 AMThe new Macromedia site is
simple and clean and I like it, though I'm finding it takes me more
steps to find things they used to have on the front page of their
site. Granted, the home page used to be cluttered and offered 50
options of where to go.
The most interesting thing I found on the new site was their new commitment to user experience issues as a
cornerstone of their business.
While I can picture the marketing team sipping lattes in their "war
room" with a huge banner carrying their new slogan "great experiences
build great businesses", it's refreshing to hear a major web firm
(especially one known for reducing usability in the past
*cough* skip intro *cough*) realize the importance of user experience
on their bottom line.
Adap
tive Path has been preaching this for the past couple years, but
it's nice to see a major corporation listening.

morning. I was at the Concert for the Masses, but the Rose Bowl looked
just like the Hollywood Bowl, and the backstage area was like Cal
State LA. I was being chased by some guy who was a cross between Henry
Rollins, Juggernaut, and The Thing.
Needless to say, even though today was a sleep in day for me, I was
happy to be pulled away from
that little bit of subconscious

See, this is what happens when you give Canadians
technology. If an American had done an in-depth analysis of the
strengths and weaknesses of the PVR boxes supplied by their cable
provider, it would have been two pages that said, "TiVo rulez, ordered
pizza." But when these teehan+lax boys got a hold of PVRs from Rogers
and Bell cable, not only did they do a 40 page usability study (they
say it isn't a usability study, exactly, but it's close enough for
government work) but they go on to design their own mythical perfect
PVR, including a new remote that works the way they think it should.
If you're a Canadian interested in how you're being short shrifted by
your cable company's craptacular stock PVR -- and you've got an hour
of free time -- these fancy lads have something to say about the way
we use our TiVos.
