SkyKeephelp

A portal that reads like an application

Everything a person meets in SkyKeep is a page in a web application, and

it should behave like one. The sign-in box belongs to the signed-out

page and disappears once you are signed in; the way out sits beside your

name at the top, where every other site puts it, and it ends the session

in the vault rather than merely forgetting it in the browser. Your own

account settings are described in ordinary words, not in the vault's

internal vocabulary. Lists of people name the compartments they can

reach instead of numbering them. And when you ask the vault a question,

it tells you how much it found and where that came from, in counts you

can check, before it tells you what it thinks the answer is.

None of this changes what the vault permits. Every page still asks the

vault afresh on every action, and the vault still decides.

Compartments are listed by name, with their grants together

A compartment whose name contains a colon keeps its name

An account that can reach nothing is listed as reaching nothing

Signing out ends the session in the vault, not just the browserstack

A query says how much it found, per compartment, before it answersstack

The counts never mention a compartment the asker is not instack

The count of text matches is a total, not a samplestack

An ordinary member is refused the list of peoplestack
