Need volunteers to test Reflect for LiquidThreads

I have made the test. I think it is obvious that editors will not limit themselves to summarizing a conversation, but I like that one is able to comment to a single sentence. At the moment the usual way is to copy and paste that sentence into your comment and than answer to it.

Maybe we could use this software for referencing. At the moment it is very difficulty to show if you are referencing a word, a sentence or many sentences. If the software is changed in such a way, that you could mark the text you are referencing, this software would be a big help.

updated: Now I have seen, that you could mark several sentences. Not just one.

Thanks for playing with this! I agree, this sort of interface could be useful for making point-by-point annotations or other types of references, not just summaries.

I'd encourage you to look at threads like Thread:Village pump/en/Making proposals easier to find / organize / work on to see if Reflect is useful in following discussions.

I've found it particularly useful in generating summaries of threads. See Thread:Talk:Strategic Plan/Goals/Number of speakers and participation for an example. When the individual messages have been summarized into a few bullet points, generating a summary for the whole thread is really easy.

So far, Philippe and I have been doing the bulk of the summarization, but if we can get a few more people experimenting with this and helping, that will really speed the process of creating summaries, which I think will make it easier to move the discussion along.
