How do we integrate user activity into the experience?
Info box should show data about the graph that you're looking at. Deep linked graphs need to have an associated web page - info box is a window onto that. Web page collects user comments about the graph. Encourage people to post relevant links in the form of news items, video, images etc.

This could be very freeform, or we can have a template which encourages different kinds of content.

How do we get things holding hands better with the website?
We need orthogonal HTML pages and dashboard views. This means that any graph which can be deep linked has a page on which to gather comments, and implies cross linking between them. If a graph is deep-linked, it should automatically have a web-page, showing an embedded version of the graph, which links back to the app, and details of the constituent data sources.

Functional perspective is a major structuring device on the website. This will be a human-readable version of COFOG classification.

Associate metadata with a deep linked graph, so that pages will come up in navigation by function in the website.

How do we manage transitions between views?
This will come out in the wash :)

How can we use animations to support data structures?
Financial bubbles can be popped with a pin, into constituent data pieces

Pan and zoom can be used to compare sizes of bubbles.

How do we roll out WDMMG freestyle?
A palette where you can drag and drop different bubbles and park them so you can compare their sizes
