I assume that most companies who have commercial goals around MeeGo are looking at the UI as one of the main areas of differentiation. > As far as I understand, UI/UX part is basically the most important > component(s) that MeeGo is creating by itself, but now it sounds like > MeeGo will NOT design UX by MeeGo community, at least not most, > instead, it will incorporate UX components from "upsteam" like Intel > UX or Nokia UX or others. I don't think that the UI/UX part is necessarily the most important component of MeeGo. There is tons of interesting work being done around the kernel, around the boot process, around infrastructure (ConnMan, oFono, etc). > My question is whether MeeGo will have its own UX teams/projects to > develop UX by itself or decide which UX will be chosen as MeeGo > *official* UX. I absolutely expect the MeeGo community to work on the user experience. I'm not sure what the concept of an "*official* UX" might mean here, though. On Netbooks we may see different UIs from different OEMs? On phones we definitely will. The MeeGo community may decide to pick one of those - or to modify one into an independent concept; or completely do their own from scratch? I don't know. What is realy important is to maintain compliance and compatibility between those different user experiences - that I think is one of the key objectives of MeeGo. /D _______________________________________________ MeeGo-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-dev
