From here to apps
Hey, New apps are being designed on https://live.gnome.org/Design/Apps/ and it's really nice, we are getting Contacts and Documents on our computers in 3.2. Those days I am wondering about apps that are in domain spaces where we already have good applications, this is prompted by a comment from David Nielsen on the Music page: The design so far looks some what like what Banshee has shipped for a long time for MeeGo and I would suggest using that as a start off point. Upstream already has a solid media management experience that is well deployed and tested. Adoption of GNOME3 technology is ongoing and the design of Banshee allows for easily experimenting with new UIs such as this one. There's Music (and we also have Rhythmbox in that space), but this is for example also the case for Photos (Shotwell?) and Boxes (Vinagre? virt-manager?). Speaking of Vinagre, it even has Implement some of the ideas from GNOME desktop sharing/virtualisation design mockups on its roadmap for 3.4 (see https://live.gnome.org/Vinagre/RoadMap). So, is there anything we could do to get to the new apps faster, accompanying existing apps to their bright future, benefiting from their experiences? Should we encourage specific apps authors to join #gnome-design? What kind of place can we create for existing applications willing to go the GNOME App path?

I assume you are referring to Boxes here[1].

To clarify, the parts of the Boxes design that I am most interested in implementing in Vinagre are the recent connections browser. The current behaviour involves a dialog, and makes it awkward to use Avahi to find remote desktops on the local network. The Boxes design makes this a lot more friendly. Of course, this is only in the roadmap for 3.4, it may not get implemented. I assume you are referring to Boxes here[1].

Berrange on the framework side so that most (if not all) of this 'conflict' is limited to UI only. I agree pretty strongly with this. The Vinagre plugins, for example VNC and SSH, are directly tied to many aspects of the UI, and therefore changing it would mean rewriting most of Vinagre from scratch anyway. Also, I do not think that Vinagre will suddenly grow the ability to be a generic virtual machine application. It handles the remote desktop client use case pretty well, and some of that overlaps with Boxes, which I do not see as a problem for the moment. -- Regards, Zeeshan Ali (Khattak) FSF member#5124 [1] https://live.gnome.org/Design/Apps/Boxes [2] Since many components of UI are common with Documents, I intend to re-use/steal code from there. -- http://amigadave.com/ ___ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
