Hi everyone, the next IRC chat will be this Saturday, again at 16:00 GMT on the #libreoffice-design channel. This will now be the official chat time every week.
Just like last week, I'm not sure whether I'll be able to attend this chat, and I hope one of you will take over as the moderator if there's need to. Alex, Astron, you've been active in the chats so far as well as on the mailing list, which makes you good candidates. As for whiteboards, we need a) establish whether whiteboards should have owners, b) finish converting old whiteboards to the whiteboard template, c) determine the process each whiteboard should go through. To get B done, we need to contact some of the creators, as they can best formulate what the original goal of the whiteboard was. Christoph Noack has authored "DocumentCheck", "Calc Range Names", "Progress Indicators", and "Find bar". Christoph, if you're reading this, could you tweak those whiteboards to follow the new whiteboard template, or at least tell us if you don't have the time? I don't remember seeing Daud, Michelr, or S.Gecko anywhere on the mailing list recently, and their last wiki contributions date back a few months, so I assume they're not active anymore (correct me if I'm wrong), which means that we need to tweak the "Styles and Formatting window", "Macros dialogs", and "MenuIdeas" whiteboards ourselves. AFAIK, Paulo José is no longer active, so we also need to tweak "Writer Status Bar Remaking". Alex, about the "Table styles" and "Templates and documents rework" pages, the open points should be on the mailing list and not on the whiteboard. Within Scope, there really should be no wishes or maybes: if it's a requirement for all proposals, put it into scope; if it's not, make it part of your own proposal. Also, let others contribute their own proposals before you move the status to "design taking shape". Astron, on your "PropertiesButtonLayout" page, the summary should only state the goal of your whiteboard, such as "Improve dialog usability". It should be a single design-oriented goal and it shouldn't suggest the solution (that's what the Proposal section is for). "Current state" should be at the top of Relevant art. As the whiteboard seems to apply to dialogs in general, I'd put in in the HIG section. We also need to figure out how we're going to shape our HIG. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/design/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
