Nice! The following question is not intended to be sarcastic, and I hope it does not come across as being impertinent: when you say “you can test”, is the you (a) a programmer or form-functionality evaluator or (b) a layperson who is planning to approach Steem Inc. about setting up an SMT to support her or his business in some way?

Let us say that in the class (a) are the people doing technical evaluation, and in the class (b) are the famous “mainstream people” who are concerned about whether the form has instructions that are meaningful, a procedure that seems to make sense to them, and clear information about particularly important details.

I offer feedback as a person mostly in class (b) so far as this project is concerned . I assume that you're planning to provide definitions of several technical terms using wording and phrasings that would not give mainstream people a lot of trouble. I'm looking at the form at http://steemdev.site/smt/stmcreator1html and also at the Whitepaper, and at this point the mainstream person is going to need a lot of help, especially as regards Content Reward Curve, Curation Reward Curve, and Inflation rate % (there is a typo at this line on the form).

You also need to provide a text box, where the project leader can state all the contextual and clarification statements that he or she thinks are needed to help Steem Inc. digest what the leader is trying to achieve.

The following point has nothing to do with the GUI; but I raise it for your comment because I have seen it raised already by a party who said he might be interested in setting up an SMT. Why does the form assume reward and creation concepts and procedures analogous to those in Steemit? Already there is a huge debate in Steemitland over related issues, and we can imagine people who are anxious to have SMT's but want to have a completely different approach to rewarding contributors. Are these kinds of people going to be discouraged from taking an interest in the project as defined by Steem Inc.?
Cheers!

Hi, Thanks for your review

Well , I consider myself an developer , and my main purpose is first to understand how SMT are going to be implemented , then try to get a functional interface , and then make it accessible to mainstream people

Why does the form assume reward and creation concepts and procedures analogous to those in Steemit?
Well , I am basing my form in the samples from the white paper , even if the SMT creation specifications change in the future I think that the form will not be hard to adapt to it

I must confess that I am not aware of last discussions in Steemland .I try to read the discussions related to SMT, I learn from it , but I dont consider myself to have arguments strong enough to participate in this debate , so right now I try to anticipate what is going to be needed

Are these kinds of people going to be discouraged from taking an interest in the project as defined by Steem Inc.?
Not sure what you mind here...

Thanks @elautomatico. Re. what I have in mind, you have answered my question implicitly by saying you expect the form to be adaptable to quite different ways of approaching the reward process. So it's going to be up to your leadership to decide how much flexibility they wish to display to potential clients on this matter. I know that it's far from developer territory; but i feel it's a key issue on which Marketing will be pressed to take a stand.
Re. accessibility to mainstream people, I assume that this matter will be put into the hands of communications specialists.
Finally, do recall that I stressed that I was only taking the 'man on the street' viewpoint. I expect you will get good feedback from colleagues and others on the technical aspects.
Cheers!
