Hi everybody, I'm really interested in tabconsistency feature. It's very annoying that all the tab based application behave different. But I don't think the current proposal is the right way. I think we should make an standard for the tab behavior. We should collaborate with several open source projects. I suggest mozilla, gnome, kde and novells betterdesktop. The standard should be well tested with usability tests (that's why i think betterdesktop.org is usefull). If the standard is defined we should ask as much as possible open source (if they use tabs) projects to implement it. Off course we provide them with the results of the usability research to convince them. If kde, gnome and mozilla agree with it, probable a lot of small programs will also use it. I hope this will lead to a very consistent tab behavior in every open source applications. Before I'm going to spend my time with it, I like know what the you think of it? I will only do this if it's supported by ubuntu. Otherwise we are doing things double. Collaborations are better :) When they support it, it's time to contact the projects and ask if they are open for such a standard.
