[campsite-dev] Most Commonly Used Campsite Actions
  • I was thinking about the campsite interface and noticed that if I
    thought about things in terms of which actions were most common, it made
    a lot more sense what was wrong and what was right.

    While thinking about how to improve the campsite admin interface
    further, I realized that it was easier to figure out what was right and
    what was wrong with it if I grouped actions into three categories:
    1)most often used, 2)used occasionally, and 3)used once or never. This
    makes is obvious where we should put most of our effort. When we design
    a feature we should always make sure to keep the common things easy.
    The list I came up with is below, if you disagree with an action being
    in a particular category, please let me know.
