No idea if that was a dumb or clever > idea, but I still remember it;-) Stephen, Independent of the security score proposal, (where I think it would be hard to advocate for something as intuitive-not-declarative as this indicator, since it would sort of be saying "let's see how it works!") maybe even independent of the WSC group in general, I think this would be a really fun thing to explore. Next F2F, we should find some time to hack together a FF extension that does this sort of multi-dimensions-as-wandering-dot feedback and see if anything fun comes out of it. I really like the idea of visualizing a complex N- space and letting brains figure out what it means over time. And thanks for the article link!
