bxncbx said:Wow! You really have put a ton of thought into this! Nice work!! I read through it all (well most since some slides were impossible to read on my phone) and the only thing I didn't get was how to actually trade seeds. I get asking another member for something but how can I offer them something? I don't know what they want. Even if they have a wish list that probably doesn't include all possible seeds they'd like to receive (mine won't). And if I'm listing 50 different things do I offer all of them? I don't have an alternative system thought up but that just seems too cumbersome if you have a large swap with 50-100 people.
Thank you! To hopefully answer your question...
Users would have wish lists that they keep as up-to-date as possible. (Dave tackled this with a thread, for now, but I would like to see this in multiple ways:
1) In plant lists (when you add a plant to your plant list, you've probably noticed tha the database tells you how many people 'have' it and how many people 'want' it....this would be fantastic for people adding seeds because they can see, immediately, who 'wants' what they are about to list that they 'have':
2) The dashboard could have a 'search' feature where you can type in a word and find out who, among all of the swaps, is offering what you want. This same idea could be applied to 'Wants'...
3) Each swap that you belong to could have a comprehensive list of all available seeds that you can click on (and, from that screen, you could "Offer a Trade") and could also have a comprehensive 'Wish List' for all of its members, too, that would look like the 'available' list:
(see bottom, right-hand scroll list)
[Edited to clarify that places that have a 'have' list can also have a 'want' list...]
