Hi,
from my personal impression, the problems are clear. We have some likely
solutions. I'd say we force *both* category and importance level to be
given by the application (the more information, the more appropriate the
server can handle it). Anything beyond that can be easily defined after a
first implementation is there (like which importance levels, how to call
them, which categories...). I don't anticipate a very complicated
implementation with regards to the actual service, so changes should be
relatively easy. The most complicated part of the thing is likely the
settings panel.
So, IMHO (of course), we should pick up discussion after Ryan has got
something to show, unless someone has an idea which has really not come up
yet at all. I'm just saying it, because *anything* can be misused, and I
think we have found a reasonable approach. At a certain point, you have to
let go and trust some responsibility with the user. If a developer misuses
this service badly, you can always just deinstall the app or write an email
to the developer. I mean there are ways, but we shouldn't let ourselves
cripple our creative power by trying to forsee *too* much.
Best regards,
-Stephan
