[Swift-devel] CCA-11 Swift Poster Visitor's Questions

[Michael Wilde]

That seems a valid criticism that we should address.  In this case the entire script is fairly compact, so we could put the whole script on the poster and just enlarge the highlights shown here (and the mappings as well if desired).

We should move these to a new Case Studies section of the Swift web that we have long proposed.

The format can be a more visually interesting version of the annotated script walkthroughs that we put in the Parco paper. (By the way, at least one NCAR researcher was highly complementary of the Parco paper and said that it really clarified Swift for her).
