Today marks an important milestone for the HOROPEDIA project with the release of the first version of our website. We have dedicated months of work to it, and our primary goal was to structure all the information that we wish to present in the most logical way possible. Making navigation between the different topics covered intuitive has been one of our priorities, in order to make our overall approach easier to understand.
We are aware that this is only the starting point, and although we already cover more than two hundred terms, we know that the site will grow richer over time.
In this regard, we are counting on the participative dimension of the project and, following Wikipedia’s example, any contribution is naturally welcome. This can involve expanding explanatory texts, sharing images or other illustrations, or simply suggesting new terms that deserve to be covered.
Furthermore, we wish to place emphasis on multimedia content with the aim of making the topics covered easier to understand. We want to be as visual as possible and it is clear that this first version of the site does not yet reflect this very important dimension of the project.
We are now going to begin this second phase and produce this type of content by drawing on multiple archives, but also produce entirely new content by visiting those who will help best illustrate the skills, techniques, and machines used for each term.
We will use a maximum of links in each explanatory text to make it easier to understand the terms described, and eventually, all the content will be linked together.
Your comments are particularly valuable to us and we are listening to continually improve the site’s usability. Don’t hesitate to use the contributor form to let us know.
As mentioned, this is only the beginning of a limitless adventure for the benefit of the entire Horologist (watchmaker) ecosystem.
