[Yourtopia] "Learn more" text and general concept conflict

[Marian Steinbach]

Rosamaria, thanks for the quick response!

Can you please clarify which two versions you are referring to exactly?

I assume that version one is the current prototype as visible here?
http://www.sendung.de/cust/okfn/yourtopia/app-20120411-1200/

What you called the second version, would that be the wireframe here?
http://www.sendung.de/cust/okfn/yourtopia/wf-20120323-1730/?Page=Create_Index_-_List_plus_Map_2

As for details on the indicators: there is a wireframe showing how
detail information is supposed to be accessible in the application
http://www.sendung.de/cust/okfn/yourtopia/wf-20120403-1200/?Page=Home_-_Category_details

The labels "Employment" etc. under the sliders are supposed to be
clickable, and when clicked a detail panel appears under the sliders.
The amount of text here should, in my opinion, be very limited. But we
want to, they could include a details link to the "Lean more" page
(which would open in a new window).
