@dajbelshaw @bonfire @Supernova @ivan how about using terminology of a campfire? Something like campgrounds for boundary? Users may be more familiar with the naming more than abstract nature of the word boundaries.


Circle I think makes sense. But due to social network nomenclature, maybe group or camp members would work better? If you want individuals to understand what they are using, similar verbs may be necessary for similar concepts. Otherwise, it can produce confusion regardless of the intention for simplicity or clarity.

here an attempt of an improved UI for boundaries, the main outcomes are:

  • Reduce the permissions list toshow only the relevant ones for each activity type (eg. see / read / like / boost / mention / reply / edit (future one) / delete (future one) ...)
  • Default the permissions to be the same for all the users/circles involved
  • Let the user expand each verb to customise the permissions for the users involved (fig.3)
  • replace the 3 icons that shows the permission states (can / undefined / cannot) with a more standard 3-toggle state
