Fabien, One thing we miss in OSS and many commercial OSS mixes is someone in charge of UI who knows what is easy to use and what falls down. I get the feeling that FIC does not have a UI overlord. The UI improves from release to release, but there are some consistency etc issues I've noticed... for example:
* the home screen is a good start for finger navigation, but once you choose an app (eg dialer) you need a stylus to get back to it. * clicking the white area for a popup keyboard is no good. You have to have a stylus to use the keyboard, so it could easily work to have an icon in the tray on the top right * the application switcher is itself an application which conflicts with some common sense interaction (it should pop up & down, it's too complicated for a simple job) * the bottom bar says "OpenMoko TaskManager" and never changes * app dropdowns like contacts look good with new/create/delete right there, but this same thing is missing in the calendar app and the calendar makes a poor choice to use "Quit" instead of "Close" in its menu Are there big picture user guidelines in place? Something that defines what the app dropdown should contain for example? I guess it's up to us to complain about or fix the rough edges so it'll converge on something reasonable. Brad
