Many of you (at least the ones who use GTK/GNOME) have heard of the GNOME Human Interface Guidelines[1]. They specify guidelines for the interface of all programs that are part of the GNOME desktop. In order to be a good citizen of the GNOME desktop, AbiWord should follow these guidelines to the extent that it is reasonable.
However, no one has put much (or any) effort into this as yet. So, since I have the opportunity to do this as part of a class (A is for Abi :), I have begun work. Some of the decisions embodied in the document are controversial, and as far as they go, I will discuss them on this list beforehand. I hope not too many of them will be problematic. I'm going to be using bugzilla to be keeping fairly close tabs on this, for the purpose of my class. I'm using bug 4142 as a metabug to keep track of everything. happy hacking -- sam th <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
