Today we decided to end the Seaweed experiment, as we have gather plenty of quantitative and qualitative feedback from participants. Thanks to those who participated, you were very very helpful.
The response has been largely positive towards the concept of seamless editing. There holds great promise that the seamless editing concept will take off for the web. The HTML 5.0 specifications have included features that support seamless editing natively on the web browser, the web is set in motion toward supporting seamlessly editable environments.
The WordPress plugin used to explore the concept was found to be intuative by the participants - although it had some usability issues as well as some limitations. A non research release of the plugin was released today.
We will release more details about the results of the experiment soon.
