The last weeks saw great progress with focusing more on design and getting more people on a dedicated »design team«.
The latest thing is that we now have an @owncloud/designers group on Github. This enables people to just mention @owncloud/designers in issues and pull requests to notify all designers. Otherwise you have to mention each one individually. The people currently on this group are: * Bernhard: https://github.com/Raydiation * Raghu: https://github.com/raghunayyar * Kondou: https://github.com/Kondou-ger * Morris: https://github.com/kabum * Guillaume: https://github.com/gpaumier * Alessandro: https://github.com/zimba12 * and me (Jan): https://github.com/jancborchardt Please let me know if you want to contribute to the design and would like to be on this group. You will be notified every time someone mentions this team in an issue, which would be every design issue or pull request. We also have a Design label on Github issues: https://github.com/owncloud/core/issues?labels=Design – check out these issues if you want to help and fix interface problems. For easier issues and to get started, check out the Design issues also marked »Junior Job«: https://github.com/owncloud/core/issues?labels=Design%2CJunior+Job High priority design issues are additionally marked with the »High« label: https://github.com/owncloud/core/issues?labels=Design,High – these we need to prioritize on, and fixing any of those will make you everyone’s hero! Join the #owncloud-design channel on IRC: http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=owncloud-design – we use this to communicate on smaller issues, talk about what to work on next, and just general chatter. It’s good to get to know the other people and for organization in general. There’s also a new design category on the ownCloud.com blog, to emphasize that we care about good design: https://owncloud.com/blog/category/design Probably also a good idea to have some categories like that on http://owncloud.org/news You might know about the mockups/design repository: https://github.com/owncloud/design/ I’m thinking about getting rid of this and rather using issues for that (like the Design Forward ones). That makes discussion and contribution much easier. The repo is stiff and we often used other channels for discussion, which makes changes cumbersome to apply. So actually just ignore that repo. But if you knew it before, be aware that the new process is doing it in issues. I’ll port the existing contents. This information is also available at http://owncloud.org/developer/design to get contributors started who want to work on ownCloud design. _______________________________________________ Owncloud mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/owncloud
