[Upstage-list] World X Presentation in 6 Days

[Karla P. <k...@ar...>]

Hi all
World X - an educational  virtual exchange trip/performance project using 
Upstage and involving 15 pupils from a secondary school in London Uk and a 
similar group of students from South Island, NZ
commences on Tuesday February 3rd, i.e. in 2 weeks.

The UK presentation of recruitment takes place in 6 days on Tuesday Jan 
27th from 3:15pm UK time. This will be attended by students, teachers, 
local government agencies (Greenwich Council),  UK project agencies 
(Independent Photography Group), and any of you who would like to log on to 
Upstage to say hello.

With this in mind, could some of the most-do items on the FIX IT list for 
Upstage be achieved asap?
Vicki sent a comprehensive list to this group last week.
Some of the priorities that I'm concerned about include the following 
(please ignore anything that is in process of being fixed):
-Recommendations and specifications for sizes of backdrops, avs and props.
- Backdrops appear in admin automatically rather than requiring html editing
-Backdrops need to be sized to the performance window - while they cover 
the chat window
no one can read what they type and people constantly hit backdrops  by 
accident.
-Reset button doesnt work properly - only way to clear backdrop 
after  hitting reset is to
exit and return. (Len and I tried Refresh but didnt help).
-Dialogue comes in stutters - small, large, smaller  etc - is this intentional?
-copy of Upstage for World X users at :8084  (safeguards everyone's work)
-props disappear behind backdrops

Okay, lot of stuff, but some of these will make a huge difference to usability.
thanks,
Karla
