2011-10-27 Thread Andrew Pullins
I don't know what happened but I sent that... any way

I changed the layers so that it would start to be more like the Citrus mock
ups.

I made a Tap menu like on your blog. I do not know if you are still
thinking of that with Citrus but for *Frivl* I think that it will be good to
have.

In tap you first see Documents or temples if it is your first document. at
the bottom of the documents page you have Share, New, and Delete
document.

I do not know if we should or is possible to make it like your arriginal Tap
where like our current Main application, once in tap you can View or create
any of the different documents.

Re: [libreoffice-design] APP/Online LibreOffice

2011-10-27 Thread Rafael Rocha Daud
Andrew, there is a thread that has just started, about a search bar for 
commands (or command launcher). Since you do want to get this Citrus 
thing started, what about a proposal in this one? Here's the thread, in 
case you missed it: 
http://www.mail-archive.com/design@global.libreoffice.org/msg03263.html.


Since this was put into discussion, you could help this going on. First, 
since we don't have a command launcher, before we know how it would work 
or look like, we need to know if this is a wanted feature. What do you 
think? Please answer in that thread, if so.


Best regards./

Rafael

Hello Andrew, all,

It is interesting indeed. I have 5 points I'd like to raise at
this stage so that we can all be at the same page (both good and bad
news):

- We already explained that we cannot change the UI of LibreOffice all
  of a sudden or as a whole, but that incremental improvements will be
  the way to work. However, when it comes to a tablet interface, things
  are different, as we do not expect to use the LibreOffice
  interface. The work that's currently being done by developers is to
  port the system, the platform, the featureset if you will, but the
  interface as it stands today would of course not be desirable. This
  means that a new UI for tablets will be necessary, starting more or
  less from scratch (I'm sure there will be constraints, etc.)
- Designing an interface won't be everything. You can draw a beautiful
  mock-up, but if the design/UX team does not translate it into
  specification(s) it will remain a nice mock-up. Developers do not
  know what to do with a mock-up, it can only be an illustration that
  gives a general impression.
- there will be a specific work to find out the general graphic layer
  and logic used by LibreOffice on these tablets; the choices made
  there will in turn influence the interfaces choices. It seems only
  natural that the UX team forms a common opinion and provides advice
  (not a free wheeling opinion, but advice based on specification work).
- As the completion of the work package of platform porting will take
  at least one more year and with no clear deadline, the work on such
  a tablet UI is not exactly urgent. But of course it's good to keep
  that in our mind/running as a parallel track
- What I think will be interesting and very useful for design ecology
  and user friendliness will be to have commonalities between the
  LibreOffice interface on the desktop and LibreOffice on tablets,
  keeping in mind they will of course be completely different; yet
  certain UX details could be made common or look similar, giving in
  turn a feeling of comfortable identity between the two. 

last but not least; it does mean that we need to work on incremental UX
improvements first for the LibreOffice desktop, and we need
specification work and drafting there.

Hope this helps,

[libreoffice-design] Some ideas to improve the look feel of LO

2011-10-27 Thread alexander.wi...@zoho.com

Hi all,

I've collected several ideas regarding the look of LO. Some of them are 
inspired by word and I think it wouldn't be too hard to realize them. 
There's a short summary with a few examples in this document: 
http://ubuntuone.com/7m7AXgeh7OIwGBiCOHAjGh


1) First of all, I think it's time to change the default formatting and 
coloring of text, shapes and tables. It doesn't have to be 
extraordinary, but some polish would be nice. Additionally would it be 
useful if the user could define alternating colors for tables and maybe 
even export all this to a xml file or something for easy exchange.


2) Pressing Ctrl while resizing a picture or shape should keep the 
ratio, like e.g. in Inkscape


3) If possible, the markup-language input for formulas should be optional

4) I wonder how useful the text border actually is. We could achieve a 
cleaner look by simply disabling it by default


5) The handles for resizing and rotating look rather dated. They should 
be replaced by some squares/circles filled with a nice gradient.


6) There should be some nice borders (e.g. polaroid-style) that could 
easily be applied to imported graphics


What do you think? Some of this might not be trivial to implement, but 
in my opinion it would be worth the effort. Should I forward the mail to 
the devs?


Kind Regards

Alex

Thanks for the visualization ...

 1) First of all, I think it's time to change the default formatting and

 extraordinary, but some polish would be nice.

True. Two different activities here
  * on libreoffice-ux-discuss, Olivier and others discussed fonts
standardization (a bit different issue, but touches the
defaults)
  * Cedric (Writer dev) wanted to work on the styles and the stylist
in general. Concerning the former, a German guy offered his
help. Furthermore, on the developers list there is a recent
thread called [Libreoffice] Styles cleanup  removing option
page std fonts.

So, you may simply jump in :-) I already provided some input concerning
the types of documents being written.

 Additionally would it be 
 useful if the user could define alternating colors for tables and maybe 
 even export all this to a xml file or something for easy exchange.

True, that's known ... incl. the need for table styles. But an Easy Hack
for that would be nice. I didn't have a look whether an issue for that
exists.

 2) Pressing Ctrl while resizing a picture or shape should keep the 
 ratio, like e.g. in Inkscape

Mmh, Shift already does that ...


 3) If possible, the markup-language input for formulas should be optional

Ongoing work called Visual Formula Input ... has been discussed some
months ago on the dev list. If you want to have a look, enable the
experimental (unstable) features in Tools - Options - General. I
assume it might help to test the feature and provide feedback (but we
should ask the dev first).


 4) I wonder how useful the text border actually is. We could achieve a 
 cleaner look by simply disabling it by default

Well, I got already almost killed at the conf for my agreement to
minimize the borders :-) It's ongoing work by Cedric, who worked on the
Headers/Footers:
http://cedric.bosdonnat.free.fr/wordpress/?p=818

My specification is here:
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Design/Whiteboard/Writer_SpecialIndicators#Document_Margin_Design

Test it in one of the daily builds :-)

 5) The handles for resizing and rotating look rather dated. They should 
 be replaced by some squares/circles filled with a nice gradient.

I think devs will be happy to get the graphics to implement them. As far
as I remember, the elements are rather simple graphics (but we may ask
Thorsten, who mentioned them - if I remember well enough). But, there
are already 3D and flat handles in LibreOffice. Switching by (Draw)
View - Toolbars - Options - Simple Handles (off).


 6) There should be some nice borders (e.g. polaroid-style) that could 
 easily be applied to imported graphics

Sure - but do you mean to apply them during importing, or applying them
afterwards (being interchangable), or do you mean using frame styles?

 What do you think? Some of this might not be trivial to implement, but 
 in my opinion it would be worth the effort. Should I forward the mail to 
 the devs?

I hope it helped a bit.

A side note: given your proposals I notice (and that's great, as I
mentioned recently), developers do care about such stuff. I can only
recommend to subscribe to the developers list and to join to test the
daily builds.

Cheers,
Christoph

Re: [libreoffice-design] Re: Work Items Management

2011-10-27 Thread Christoph Noack
Hi Nik,

before you'll never get a reply from my side ... :-)

Am Dienstag, den 25.10.2011, 14:52 +1100 schrieb Nik:
 Hi Christoph, Klaus-jürgen, All,
 
 Thank you both for your input, you thought of a number of things I 
 didn't. I'm going to try condense your questions and provide short(ish) 
 responses so that this thread does not become large and difficult-to-follow;

Cool, thanks!

 *Klaus-jürgen mentioned;*
 1. Who will determine the priorities?  I think mostly our lead(s).
 2. Who will determine where to put an item (active - on-hold)?
 3. As I understand your proposal, the items will be more different than 
 the work-item-list [1]. Will you/we make a list to collect the different 
 items before 1st of november?
 4. The status On hold won't be necessary because then it will be in 
 the ON-HOLD list
 5. The status Being finalised won't be necessary because then it will 
 be in the completed archive list or you must have a coloumn Status 
 in this list, too.
 6. What is the difference between In proposal an In progress? Maybe 
 this should be described.
 7. What will happen, if someone tells that he wants to work on a 
 ON-HOLD item, but the list of active items is 'full' and the others 
 don't think it is extremly neceassary to work on it? We won't prevent 
 him to work on it. Example: Aleksander made some (great) design 
 proposals out of time.
 8. Maybe this example can be a extra list: GENERAL items with no 
 priority.
 9. I'm not sure if we shouldn't colour the On-HOLD list, too
 
 *My suggestions regarding these very pertinent questions;*
 1. When added, the member adding should assign a priority of discussed 
 on this mailing list and then put there initials in brackets alongside 
 the number, eg: 3(NS). The Team leads will review this priority when 
 they get a chance and their reviewed ranking shoulod just be accepted to 
 keep things going. SC members who frequent this list (Charles, Italo) 
 would also be able to review priorities. Our Mailing list should not 
 become endless discussions and contradictions of our priorities, that is 
 why we appointed Team Leads.

Fine.

 2. Same as above, with every person making a decision adding their 
 initials alongside.

Fine as well.

 3. That is a good point I hadn't considered. Can someone help me 
 establish the current status and contacts for each of the existing 
 tasks. (just add it to the bottom of the current wiki task list page to 
 avoid complicating this thread).

I can help you, but I'm offline from tomorrow/Saturday until Wednesday.

 4. Good point. But I kept the on-hold status to make it easier to 
 cut-and-paste a record easily between the ACTIVE tasks and the ON-HOLD 
 tasks. Ths way less editing is required.

Sure. From experience I'd say these are small things that can be tweaked
afterwards ... I've refined the Agenda and Minutes for the OOo Community
Council several times - so no worries.

 5. I think we need a Being finalised to indicate work is complete on 
 the task, but we need to wrap things up (like providing a graphic in 
 another format, or waiting on word from the printers etc). It will also 
 give us a final push to finish the job.

Fine, although this might be optional ... if we start to have such a
fine grained tracking, a percentage value might be more helpful
(although project management experience tells us that 80% of the time
tasks reside between 95 ... 99%) ;-)

Thinking of that, I suggest to have a last update information. That
really helps to find orphans / clean up stuff that lies there for too
long. Having that in a separate columns makes this even sortable.

 6. In proposal means that requirements for the task are still being 
 established, while a task In-progress already has requirements defined 
 and is currently being worked on or available to be worked on.

Mmh ... I think we should simply say that its in progress. Although I
love processes (and thus the separation of requirements collection vs.
solution creation), I think such fine grained status might be added to
the proposal itself (if required).

 7. Being realistic I think we all know we can't force everyone to play 
 the same game. We shouldn't. When additonal out of time contributions 
 are made, we should accept them and move on to what is required. The 
 task list on the Work-items page should be to provide focus for the 
 regular contributors to this team. It should give direction and make the 
 endorsed work items clear to anyone wanting to help in our everyday 
 operations. Right now, that is not so clear.

Okay, the should provide focus (=guidance) for the regular contributor
is okay to me.

 8. If we define such a generic list, I'm afraid everything will be 
 stored there, we will relax our focus on delivering results. We should 
 instead be more rigid: A task is either a) being worked on b)suspended 
 due to external influences or c)complete. No lee-way.

Sounds fun ;-)

Just a question - what about new items that don't need to be active,

Re: [libreoffice-design] Some ideas to improve the look feel of LO

2011-10-27 Thread alexander.wi...@zoho.com

Thanks for the feedback, Astron and Christoph,

Nice to hear that some of this stuff is already being worked on or even 
implemented :)


1) I sent my suggestions to Dag Wieers and asked him to forward the 
mail to the ux-advice and/or help me


2) Well, at least in Inkscape and Gimp Ctrl is the used key so it 
might be considered a standard


3) Is this Visual Formula Input something different than the small 
window containing icons for integrals, roots etc. ?
Astron: What highlighting? I meant the window containing the raw 
input like sqrt{}


4) Cool. Now I remember I already saw that but somehow forgot about it 
:)


5) Asked on the ux-advice mailing list

6) The borders should be interchangeable

Maybe tomorrow I'm gonna subscribe to the devs mailing list and submit 
my proposals. Good night everyone

Re: [libreoffice-design] Re: LibreOffice Tablet Suite

2011-10-27 Thread Andrew Pullins
HI,

- We already explained that we cannot change the UI of LibreOffice all
  of a sudden or as a whole, but that incremental improvements will be
  the way to work. However, when it comes to a tablet interface, things
  are different, as we do not expect to use the LibreOffice

  interface as it stands today would of course not be desirable. This
  means that a new UI for tablets will be necessary, starting more or
  less from scratch (I'm sure there will be constraints, etc.)


we are starting from scratch here. yes the UI that Mirek has come up with
looks very much the same as his Citrus UI but that is the way it should
be(or at least if we decide to go with Citrus[which we should.])
of cores the interface that we have today would not be good on a tablet. I
have talked to a few people that USE pages on the ipad a lot at my church to
make their sermons, and they have said that you can do too little in pages.
they want more tools with the tablet suite. they also say that because of
this they make there documents on the computer with M$ word. so some of the
curent UI should be put into the tablet suite.




 - Designing an interface won't be everything. You can draw a beautiful
  mock-up, but if the design/UX team does not translate it into
  specification(s) it will remain a nice mock-up. Developers do not
  know what to do with a mock-up, it can only be an illustration that
  gives a general impression.


what kind of specifications, from what Mirek and I have done so far what do
the developers need to make it work? from what I have done it it I can see
only one or two things that would need more explaining, which would be that
when typing the document the contextbar and maybe the top bar would hide and
when press the bar that remains it would reaper.


 - What I think will be interesting and very useful for design ecology
  and user friendliness will be to have commonalities between the
  LibreOffice interface on the desktop and LibreOffice on tablets,
  keeping in mind they will of course be completely different; yet
  certain UX details could be made common or look similar, giving in
  turn a feeling of comfortable identity between the two.


the tablet suite should be much more simplistic that the desktop but as I
said above from talks I have had people want much more than just the basic
text editor. this means that the two UI can be more the same
then originality thought. yes some things will be different but some things
must stay the same to keep cohesive.


 last but not least; it does mean that we need to work on incremental UX
 improvements first for the LibreOffice desktop, and we need specification

work and drafting there.


Thank you, thats what I have been saying.

I am not saying Microsoft is the standard. But MS Word uses the

common applications.
