1. Main problems and annoyances you encounter when using ActionApps
Easier uploading of files

In general, uploading files should be made easier and it would have to allow the use of user friendly buttons (Alexander Piscitelli, Argentine sociologist says that Internet must be like a remote control of a television set, that anyone ends up understanding its use). In that sense the forum channels seem terribly complicated to operate, the use of tickers to select messages does not seem right to me.

ORIGINAL VERSION

En general la subida de archivos debería estar como mas favorecida y se tendría que permitir el uso de otos botones mas amigables ( Alejandro Piscitelli, sociologo argentino dice que internet se tiene que usar como un control remoto de un televisor, que cualquiera termina comprendiendo su uso).

2. Features suggested for future development versions of ActionApps
Off-line client

A client should be constructed for publishing off line and later connecting and sends the update of slices at once. This would allow to distribute the client to many people, for example, an installable CD, to turn their PC into "a publisher", which favors a participative edition system of portals. Today it is very dificil for somebody with telephone connection to publishes on a portal.

ORIGINAL

Si se puede construir un cliente que edite off line y que después se conecte y mande la actualización de canal en ese instante. Esto permitiría que a mucha gente se le entregue, por ejemplo, un CD instalable en su máquina y convertirla en editora, lo que favorece un sistema participativo de edición de portales. Hoy es muy dificil que alguien que tiene conexión telefónica edite en el portal.

3. Comments About Usablility
Manual – availability of a good and simple manual for editors

It would be good to have a good and simple manual for the use by editors. The one that I know has the same technical language that the interface of the administrator, just little nearer the current language of people.

Final commentary: The AA are a great tool and deserve all our recognition. I congratulate to all who are working and working for their improvement and celebrate this initiative. Excuse if some of the things that I mentioned are available or they can be solved because I have not entered very technical aspects of the tool.

ORIGINAL

Tener manuales bien sencillos para el uso de los editores. El que conozco tiene el mismo lenguaje técnico que la interfase del administrador, poco cercano al lenguaje corriente de la gente.

Comentario final: Las AA son una gran herramienta y merecen todo nuestro reconocimiento. Felicito a todos/as quienes han trabajo y trabajan para su mejoramiento y celebro esta iniciativa.
Pido disculpas si algunas de las cosas que menciono ya está disponibles o se pueden resolver porque no he entrado en aspectos muy técnicos de la herramienta.
