I totally agree though and have been thinking about a similar idea for a few months now. Basically design a mockup system of the ultimate desired system, complete with menus, software and detailed documentation on behaviour, and more importantly, reasons for this behaviour.
It seems quite a lot of developers use a closed source version as a reference when creating a FOSS version. I believe that the open source community would benefit massively from a 'virtual distro' which could appeal to the creative types normally excluded from the development process and provide a bridge between usability and code. It would also apply the 'many eyes' theory to UI design and provide an alternate place for developers to get ideas from. -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
