Hello User Interface Lovers ~ Interested in joining the ranks of Murray Cumming Calum Benson David Bordoley Daniel Cranston Marco Pesenti Gritti Christian Neumair Damien Sandras All UI-Review veterans, who combed through the interactions of many GNOME applications and to whom I say 'Pants Off'! I'm sure we'll soon see many more excellent reviews from them. If you'd like to see your name in lights like these super-stars you too can start a UI-Review today. What is it? --------------------------------------------------- UI-Review is the review and improving of our current user interfaces for the next scheduled release. Making sure that the interactions of our applications conform to the HIG guidelines as well as being effective and usable. Where do I start? --------------------------------------------------- For a list of modules to get started on check out: http://www.gnome.org/start/2.5/ui-review/ What if I've never done this before? --------------------------------------------------- We have a (DRAFT) how-to for those who don't know where to start. http://usability.gnome.org/ui-review/howto_write_ui_review.html What's the timeline? --------------------------------------------------- December 2003 Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 --------------- 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 / We are here / 28 29 30 31 -------------- January 2004 Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 --------------------- 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 / UI Freeze is Here / 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 -------------------- 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 February 2004 Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 ----------------------- 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 / Hard UI Freeze Here / 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 ---------------------- 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 UI-Reviews will continue until the release, however changes become more and more difficult to make as we hit each of these milestones. What are you doing? --------------------------------------------------- Me? Well I'm trying to journal exactly what I'm doing in this (DRAFT) page, take a look if you'd like to know more: http://usability.gnome.org/ui-review/coordination_of_ui_review.html You can catch more frequent updates at my advogato page: http://www.advogato.org/person/clarkbw/ I also hang with the cool UI kids on irc.gnome.org in the #usability channel. Feel free to drop in and ask questions, I'll be doing a few review myself and updating the how-to page very soon.
