[bksvol-discuss] Re: geewiz improvements

All,  progress and innovation takes place through a combination of 
top/down and bottom up approaches and the infinite resulting feedback 
loops.  Ideas from Bookshare engineering do not preclude our own ideas and 
viceversa.  We should let our ideas be known, as Lisa and her crowd do 
listen.  On the other hand, it is also very productive for us to keep a 
creatively open mind when we hear about new ideas that sound somewhat 'out 
of the box'.

Even if they don't have any speech or braille users as engineers, I would 
think they could find a host of volunteer beta testers right here on this 
list.

I really wish they would ask us about ideas instead of telling us their 
ideas, after all we are the users.
