StrawpersonProposalForMinimumPreviewCosmoUIElements
I've pulled together some very rough sketches for a 'Bare Minimum'
Proposal for Cosmo UI. My goal is to provide a more concrete view
into exactly what we will need in order to satisfy the Casual
Collaborator usage scenarios we've identified for Cosmo in the
Preview timeframe.
1. Casual Collaborator: Bart the Busy Body/Coordinator manages a
small working group task list and calendar with Helen the Hub, a
Chandler desktop user.
2. Casual Collaborator: Ivan the Individual Contributor updates his
PTO information and task status on a small working group task list
and calendar, managed by Helen the Hub and Bart the Busy Body/
Coordinator.
When I say 'Bare Minimum' proposal, I mean:
+ What can we do with minimal changes to existing UI
+ What can we do with minimal addition of new UI elements
+ How can we address the screen real estate issues introduced by the
Dashboard (it's too wide!) with minimal impact on the existing UI
This is not to say that what we end up with in Preview will be the
'Bare Minimum'. These mock-ups are intended as:
+ An aid for planning
+ Concretize what the Detail view will look like once we support more
than just events
Please take a look and reply with your thoughts on:
+ Are there 'simplifications' I'm making that actually aren't
simplifying, but more complicated?
+ Questions
Thx!
Mimi
