[EU-lobby-data] feedback for visuals (draft compilation)

Wed Jan 23 15:07:57 UTC 2013

Good compilation. Thank you for this, Timo. Let's include also Erik's 
proposal for the main page: to include a random non registrant. And I 
also think it is important to let them know that we want to include 
information about the registrant provided by others registrants, that is 
to say, that if he's mentioned as a client by a consultancy it should 
appear there. I don't see it very clear in the mock-up. And the note 
says: "Associated organisations are illustrated using a tag cloud style. 
I.e. items that appear more frequently, appear larger". If there is 
going to be a difference in size, it should reflect the money involved, 
I think.

Cheers,

ester
