# Discussion

- Ryan demoed Electron changes he's made to onboard new users experience with helper UI buttons.

Ryan's UX technique appears alike interstitials. Ad-tech have mastery in this method. Google uses interstitials on their main sites to tech users as they navigate core productivity apps. Unlike ad-tech interstitials, UX interstitials can be removed after users have demonstrated wiki familiarity by using wiki. Google automates UX with recommender driven interstitials part of the HCI group from Marissa Mayer's era. page

- Ward demoed authoring an online book including images all in json data, that is automated into a PDF or electronic book: A Pattern Language for Growing Regions with Michael Mehaffy.

- David demoed his work on rosters, transporters to enable communities to build sites linked together by sites. David is using graphviz

David added observations of writing behavior. Writers, tend to just write, they don't tend to fork (as software developers on github do). Wiki provides social communities in federations...

- Eric demoed continuing automation of new Wiki using Glitch. The goal to host wiki's free at glitch with a user friendly server setup (the install details all hidden behind the scenes).

Plugin Development in Glitch

Eric is accomplishing the automation by dogfooding plugins [please see advocacy for frozen realms SES ]
