A bit more information on your paper prototyping would be useful, but it looks like you've responded well to your testing, and your solution shows some promise.

I'm delighted to see your prototype in action; the demo I saw in Weimar only hinted at what you folks were doing. Well done - I really enjoyed the video.

My concern is still with the scalability of this "spiral notebook" metaphor. Although the individual pages can be limitlessly long, the problem is the actual NUMBER of pages. In truth, although the metaphor is nice, you are basically creating an hierarchical filing system - folders and pages. The key to your project, as I see it, is your ability to tag and file individual content elements rather than pages. You've come a long way, but I'm not convinced that this would solve my personal bookmarking problems (hundreds of bookmarks in 70+ folders). However, if I were to decide to collect content related to a specific client/project on which I was working, this solution might work; one notebook per project, much the way the drawing program Penultimate works on the iPad.

But all in all, Vera, congratulations to you and your team on a VERY solid project!
