Yo, Beeber, howzit? (Thats what people say here in Hawaii, 'howzit'). :) Am I correct in thinking that you have at least some experience in web UI/UX? Because if so, are you aware of any simple, lightweight and easily theme-able responsive libraries/frameworks? Emphasis on simple & lightweight, theming less important for now. Not that I care about it much myself, but if the experience isn't theme-able, it may be viewed as somehow either unfinished/not ready or perhaps worse unsophisticated enough. *sigh* Your right in noticing that these types of projects rarely mention UI/UX in real detail -- it is hard, boring sometimes counterintuitive, nitpicking work. More importantly, I'm not sure people who create the functionality even *should* design the UI -- they are way to close to it, understand it all in their minds, and thus can't really objectively evaluate key UI metrics like 'discoverability', flow, etc. -- Chris _______________________________________________ Freedombox-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/freedombox-discuss
