We tried two different designs of the bulletin board (splitting the screen with an "all notes" and the bulletin board, and having tabs to go between "all notes" and the board) for the paper prototype, and took all the comments into account when designing the website for GR4. Based on feedback we decided to switch to the 'one main board' approach and we split the screen into 3 sections (side list of buckets, bulletin board on top, and list of notes / tasks on the bottom).
