Jul 18, 2013"Computer: I'd like to write a summary of this meeting"12 | 26 Introducing the idea of Flow CC by: http://www.user-prompt.com 13. Jul 18, 2013"Computer: I'd like to write a summary of this meeting"13 | 26 Introducing the idea of Flow 1. A Flow combines applications to a single series of steps a user has to fulfil to solve a complete task. Theoretically there are infinite tasks, but a single user typically only faces a very limited set. A Flow transmits the relevant data between the different applications. 14. Jul 18, 2013"Computer: I'd like to write a summary of this meeting"14 | 26 Introducing the idea of Flow 2. A Flow uses applications and adopts their interface to support the task. E.g. no need for a table of contents when writing a letter. It should always be possible to fall back to the traditional view of the application. Users need to be able to stop or interrupt the work on a flow without the loss of work done at any time. 15. Jul 18, 2013"Computer: I'd like to write a summary of this meeting"15 | 26 Introducing the idea of Flow 3. User can freely use, study, modify and distribute a flow. It should be as easy a possible to do, even for users with no programmings skills. It needs to be attractive to create Flows even for very small groups of users. 16.

Often a good seperation of front- and backend. Technologies for interprocess communication. Infrastructure for distributing user generated content. Suitable mindset of involved people. 18.

Technical issues I do not understand. Tons of experiments to fully understand the problems and find solutions. 19. as a testbed for the task-centric approach 20. The technologies are in place...
