One thing I noticed is that the various design specification (Software Center, Networking, DateTime, Notify-OSD etc.) are very scattered on the Ubuntu Wiki. I would like for there to be a (single) page of currently active specifications so we can avoid things like this: http://www.reddit.com/r/Ubuntu/comments/dpowc/1010_volume_control_menu_design_fail/c120i3z .
Ideally I would like to see a sub page on http://www.ubuntu.com/community/get-involved that redirects to a design page that then has categories: Current design specifications, How you can help, Learn about design. 1. Current design specifications - currently active specifications that are being worked on by the devs. Proper tagging for easy search would be a boon. 2. How you can help - can the users perform some usability testing on their friends? Supply us with the know-how and some tools and we can help if usability testing. 3. Learn about design - since Canonical now has a group of talented designers it would be nice if they could share (preferably freely available material) their recommendations on books dealing with design, blogs of designers etc. Basically stuff that can help Ubuntu users give better feedback on design issues. Howtos on usability testing would also be nice so other FOSS projects can make better applications. Of course all of these are simply things off the top of my head so I'm positive there is much to improve on this suggestion. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ayatana Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ayatana More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
