Shannon's Journal Discussion Thread, Vol. 8

[Shannon]

I see... good to know.
I didnt realise they were existing products already. Thought they were features - within the subliminals
Just saying - my first instinct / user behaviour went to check Glossary.

Why wouldn't you just look up the shields in the store and read their descriptions?  Putting it in the glossary would not only use more time, but also severely limit what I could say about them.

The 5.11g skeleton script has a Grounding Shield in it as standard for all subliminals.  It is explained in each product's description.

The skeleton script from 5.5G to 5.10G uses a different shield, either the Non-Directional Reflection Shield, or the Directional Reflection Shield, for most programs.  Those with it, detail that in the description of the product and what it does.

These shields also exist as stand alone shields, which of course, tell you about them through the description.

In the future, in 6G, we will have stand alone shield titles only, and the skeleton script will have no shield built in, which gives greater versatility.  The products will then allow for very detailed information on each shield, instead of a sentence (as the Glossary would limit me to) or a short paragraph, as many titles limit me to.

The glossary is too limited to really make sense of what they are, are doing and are capable of.  I can add a quick description to the glossary, as I am sure that if you're looking there, others will too.
