I've started a GWT mockup, but it doesn't progress quickly at all (GWT Designer is not really usable...). So I've decided to first do a basic mockup with inkscape, so we can have something to discuss. Then, if people want more, I'll rework on the GWT mockup, but I think there is no point doing that yet. I attached what I've done with inkscape (I started yesterday), keep in mind it's still very much in progress, and that I worked on this only 1 hour, maybe 2. The menu is not complete, but it was just to show how I think it should be displayed (ie, like in the minimalist theme). We should have some more items : filesharing, network manager, network monitor (I didn't do the mockups for those 3 yet). Since I don't use forums, I'm not sure I can do mockups for them. Last time I used them it seemed fine. It really looks like the minimalist theme, with the main difference that the menu is just a collection of links, much more like the google menu. Plus, the WoT is integrated (renamed in Freenet account, users really don't have to know what a WoT is). Friends app is the last thing I was on, so it's more than basic. What we should have: privacy settings: what to publish to whom, basically. user groups: by default, two user groups: WoT and 'real friends' (need to find better names). basic social networks things: wall, recent activity. Also, not in the mockup, we should have chat and message (integration with mails). And that's all for now. I hope to advance more quickly now that I don't use GWT anymore (it's really not practical to do a mockup, since you don't have visual feedback (GWT Designer is buggy)). I'll keep you posted. Please comment on what I already done, especially if you think it goes in the wrong direction. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
