PLEASE REVIEW BEFORE DECEMBER
Please download the .ppt slides:
http://wiki.osafoundation.org/pub/Journal/
NiceToHaveProposalsForPreviewCosmoUI/CosmoUIChrome_NTH.ppt
or the .pdf files (listed in the wiki page) as a slide show to review
the designs we've been iterating for Cosmo UI in Preview and post
Preview.
We're throwing out these proposals with the knowledge that it's too
much to accomplish in the short amount of time we have left. However,
we wanted to provide a high level picture of where we might be headed
post-Preview, while staying within the confines of the Casual
Collaborator workflows we've identified for Preview.
Some question we have for you are:
+ Are there things in here that we need to address sooner rather than
later because they affect 0.6 development in some way.
+ Do you see any major issues with the proposals?
We've also tried to list out all the features for Preview. This list
is compiled from a design perspective, so we will need help from
Engineering to fill it out to reflect all the features that will need
to be implemented to support the UI.

NEXT ACTIONS
Our next course of action is to review this as a group in early
December. We'd like to understand what features are possible, what's
really hard, what's trivial. We will then go back and come up with
another proposal based on the feedback, but then it would be good to
come up with a coherent set to map on a stickie plan.
ADDITIONAL/BACKGROUND INFO.
Please also note we did some design explorations in terms of
prioritizing the 'nice to have features'. Here are the wiki pages
that describe the bare minimum proposal for Preview:

Initial explorations for the Nice-to-have proposals. Purely for to
see how we've been iterating:

OK. There is a lot here, so just list out some open issues if you
have any on the wiki page and we'll go over them in December.
Thanks, -Priscilla
