I know. Sometime after I created the wiki page (long after HaaTa posted it) the topic came up again and a few of us here agreed that there was no clear link to Topre.002 wrote: ↑Prototopre was just a nickname given to them by HaaTa -- there was never any evidence that Topre were involved with making them. Just some pure speculation (from HaaTa and I) that someone involved with the design of this switch either worked at Topre, or vice versa. I'm not sure which design comes first, but the original Topre capacitive prototype was produced in 1983. Maybe Topre just looked at what was being used in banking or data entry and decided to use some design elements in their own creation...or vice versa

You might be able to really tick someone off with that idea here... Oh jeez relax.002 wrote: ↑What ever do you mean, Mr. seebart?! Are you suggesting that I am deliberately attempting to rouse trouble with my idea for a web based collaborative knowledge repository of sorts?
Our wiki may be far from perfect but at least it's up and running and we have several diligent users working on it. Right and you think can't tell even from around the globe.002 wrote: ↑Yeah I know I was just being stupid. DT wiki is the best.
Oh yeah and you have summertime now... 
Possibly we should have a {{TODO speculation}} banner also...like one of these:002 wrote: ↑It's frustrating to sometimes because it can be a pain to present certain insights and theories / speculation on the wiki. The best approach is to just document what you feel is true and provide as many references as you can but then there's lots of little things that kinda shouldn't be on the wiki if you adhere strictly to that approach.

Not quite but here's the usual European stereotype: It's more helpful to simply explain why the suggestion is being made. It's still a good idea to post photos or references of anything that demonstrates the reasons for the suggestion, so that readers can assess this information and draw their own conclusions or match up their own findings with existing information.seebart wrote: ↑Possibly we should have a {{TODO speculation}} banner also...
