Communicapocalypse - Week 2 - "The Reorientation"
Pains me to say it, but html won't make the cut. There's the objective weakness that the full html experience cannot be delivered in a single file. (It can, actually. There's a format called mhtml, or mime html, which combines the html and support files into a single mime document. But it's unclear it'd actually work, even if I could find a way to encode it properly.) The more telling objection, however, is that no one cares. My subjective impression after asking the four classes is no one's having problems with doc format - they recognise it and know how to use it - and while there may be some who are curious about the html, they're finding no special reward in going there, and most aren't anyway. So, doc wins.
In other news, the classes continue to look and feel the same as classes from years past that used paper. Most phones in use are large screen models. Most teams have more than one. There is a measure of flexibility lost in using phones, even when most of the teams are using various kinds of large screen model, but I'm not hearing any complaints. Nor am I seeing any frustration. (I might dig a little deeper next time and see if there's any under the surface.)
Thus, I shall continue serving up doc and/or docx. To entertain myself, I shall continue trying other formats too. I believe I shall experiment with epub for a while and see how that goes.
