Hi James,
This is Carlos López (aka genete) current coder leader of the Synfig
project. By a contact email from Ilmari Lauhakangas I've been informed that
you're willing to help on Synfig Studio UX/UI redesign, offering your
experience on graphic design for human interaction interfaces.
Currently we have one person (Yu Chen aka Jcome) working on that and he has
been working several months on collect the best practices from other design
applications as well as have created mock-ups for the different parts of
Synfig Studio. He has knowledge of the animation principles as well as many
of the knowledge of the correct workflow to exploit the features of Synfig.
You can see a summary of his work here:
http://www.synfig.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=3259
Since a few weeks he has started to work on type actual code to make those
designs a reality. I'm mentoring his work to fill the gaps he could have on
the understanding of the core code of Synfig.
In order to incorporate to the current design/coding cycle I recommend to
you to start by downloading and installing Synfig Studio and start by
getting used to the features that Synfig offers to you, in order to
understand the current designs that has been proposed by Jcome. Once you
can create your own animations you can make use of your experience as
designer to improve the current UX/UI design made by Jcome with suggestions
and improvements. The forums is a good place to start those discussions.
Its small community is very warmly and friendly.
This email is copied to synfig-devl mailing list to keep the rest of the
development team informed.
