Why on earth would we need a nod from Peter to set up a website? >On the point of client ratings, the next step on from that would be to >request user comments on the clients, then for someone running the >site to turn those into feature requests and/or best practice guidelines >for client developers to look over when dreaming up an UI. Forget the UI best practises guidelines. I wrote such a document years ago and while I got a lot of good feedback from client developers, the general opinion of the list was that it was a "Bad Thing" (tm) because people might take it as an official view of what a Jabber client should look like (and most clients at the time looked nothing like it). In the end I decided that the only real way to show someone what a GUI should look/behave like was to create a client - which is what I am doing with Marc's help. The article is archived here if it is of any interest - since the only link I know of that pointed to it was on JabberCentral I doubt it has had many hits: http://www.yabber.org/design/ Michael. _______________________________________________ jdev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.jabber.org/listinfo/jdev
