[uf-discuss] currency quickpoll results and suggested next step

[Mike Schinkel]

My opinion is this sounds like a great idea!  Will you be doing the edit on
the current proposal?

I am surprised however at the number of people who felt "Currency
unit/denomination used identification" was important and it seems like an
edge case to me. I'm hoping that this become an optional aspect as opposed
to always required, and the same with amount, actually.

Also, will the current spec worry about the other concerns so as not to
eliminate the possibility of including them later, or by asking am I just
removing the benefit of "focusing on the top 3" by asking?

-Mike

See below the results for "What do you think are the [4] most important
features [out of 8] for the currency proposal?"

Thank you to all who have participated.

My recommended next step is to edit the current proposal so that it focuses
only on the 3 top features below, with the goal to get a first version, lean
yet functional, officially approved as soon as possible, and push back the
other features to a subsequent version.

Let me know what you think.

Guillaume
