concept map on left with note(s) for node on right (like current web tool)
concept map as desktop background and open nodes into windows like current desktop
Consensus seemed to be for the first option.
Node tools
Possibly add tools to associate nodes with users and dates. If we put extra controls on all the nodes, will it detract from what the concept map looks like? Can we avoid that? We do want something that is easy to access, otherwise it probably won't get used.
Adding user(s) to nodes
how many users?
what do we show to signify a user or users: name, avatar?
Adding date(s) to nodes
how many dates?
what do we show if multiple dates?
Timeline issues
once we have dates for nodes, how do we show them on the timeline? Is a small line in just the row for that particular node/document enough?
do we want to provide any structure for how nodes/documents get added to the timeline when they are created on the concept map? Can we even do this?
potential for a lot of documents on the timeline if we had one for every node
Other awareness features
telepointers, radar panes, idle time, keyboard activity
