Re: [Koha-devel] How do we find consensus on interface changes?

Lots of great comments here from everyone. For my part, I'd love to see Owen as benevolent dictator of Koha's GUI. I think he has the most experience, interest, and skill out of all of us in this area. If he's happy to let us rule ourselves using interface guidelines located in the developer

Re: [Koha-devel] How do we find consensus on interface changes?

It sounds like there is no urgent desire to change the workflow, which is good because I think that means nobody is upset about any recent interface changes. I think that maintaining the interface guidelines and pattern documentation is a good idea, and I will continue to do so. I don't think

Re: [Koha-devel] How do we find consensus on interface changes?

Yes, I think we need one single document for all developer guidelines, and I think the Developer's Handbook is the way to go. I think I can highlight the problem by confessing that I've never even seen ( or least didn't remember ) that Interface Patterns page before! We need a single source for

Re: [Koha-devel] How do we find consensus on interface changes?

I think you've summarized everything nicely. If Owen were interested in taking some official mantel I would not be opposed ; ) I think we need to focus on expediency and uniformity primarily. I think we basically have those two things, but they could both be improved. I would be more than happy

Re: [Koha-devel] How do we find consensus on interface changes?

I like the idea of having a role like 'GUI manager' and also the idea of having style guidelines for the interfaces. Actually, I think. we already have both of those, as Owen has been working on writing documentation about existing patterns on the wiki. I am not in favor of approving every

Re: [Koha-devel] How do we find consensus on interface changes?

I'm concerned that we are going down a road where every patch submitted to the Koha project will end up requiring a community vote. I think it would be more reasonable and efficient to add a community UI manager role to the project. Someone who is empowered to make executive decisions on this

Re: [Koha-devel] How do we find consensus on interface changes?

Owen, I think that Koha users should voice their opinion/votes as that the Koha software, more or less, belongs to them. Now, what vehicle should we use to collect everyone's opinion/vote (like Survey Monkey, Google forms, IRC voting, etc.) and should there be a committee formed for this purpose?
