The End of Project Ottawa
Almost three months ago, prior to me attending the IxDA Interaction 13 conference, I decided to put the project on hiatus for two months.
Well, that time has passed and I have come to the decision that this hiatus will be indefinite.
At this point, I am leaving this somewhat open-ended because I do not know when I will come back to this, if at all. Some of the ideas here will return in different situations down the road. But as of now, no further work will be done and there will be no third draft. The previous version will still be online (see Second Draft) but no further revisions will be made in the near future.
I want to thank everyone who helped me along the way, especially during the craziness of last year. Most importantly, I want to thank all those who let me bend their ears [constantly] about my ideas and gave me some much-needed advice. Right now, Ottawa is at a state where I cannot devote any more time and there are other projects that need my attention. In some respects, Ottawa may have been a solution in need of a problem and I suspect it may be a couple of years before it is fully understood.
Thank you all,
Ivan Wilson
