Barb, good to hear that the 'interactive' tool worked.
Language, language ... and odd business. On the one hand we dont mind making the footprint creator do some work in thinking about the language and the terms, and to make them specific enough, (and reference the work of the many people who have designed and researched and thought about this before us) - but on the other hand we would like the creation of a footprint to be as intuitive as possible.
That means that the simpler the language the better, particularly if the accompanying graphic still opens up the possibliities for mearning and context. All suggestions on both these issues will be gratefully received and acknowledged!
An 'I'll show you mine if you show me yours' sharing of footprints is exactly what we have in mind, to open up a 'collaborative reflection' conversation. That's, really, where we think this should all be heading.
So ... interesting questions and processes for engaging on 'alignment' and alignments (there are so many things to align with), and hopefully an iterative process for open/ended conversations - which ends (or doesn't end) when you have completed what you want to do.
