Edit Flow was bumped up to v0.3 last week and saw a flurry of other updates as bugs cropped up that I had managed to miss during the testing phase before release. The main focus of this release was to introduce usergroups, which will form the basis of future features and to enhance the notification functionality that was introduced in the previous version.
This is an assignment done recently for class (ENGL 408C: The Rhetoric of Digital Design). The goal was to "Discuss the design of an online newspaper ... Combine the terminology of newspaper design with the observations of social semiotics." I chose theglobeandmail.com mostly because they recently did a redesign — it got mixed reviews (exhibit A, exhibit B, exhibit C, Google the rest yourself!) and from an aesthetic standpoint, I'm not the biggest fan either — which gave me quite a bit to talk about.
