rjh232··on PawPawMail - Email for the Elderly
Thanks! I agree that the website itself needs some work; the landing page is intentionally underdeveloped to direct active users to their interfaces, but it needs an overhaul. Anyone have any specific design tips for implementation?

Also entertaining: its flowers smell like rotten meat.

No; and the user interface is entirely built for the Flash player, which might limit it somewhat in its reach. Our thought is that they are unlikely to need PawPawMail in the first place if they have a home computer that they are completely capable of using without a small degree of setup by a friend/manager.

I'm one of the developers -- we're trying to get as much feedback as we can get, so please let us know your thoughts, good or (especially) bad. As far as privacy, the caretaker ("Manager" is the term we're using for the application) only screens incoming mail when it is NOT from someone already in the address book. We hope that that minimizes the concern, even though it clearly doesn't entirely negate it.
