Hi everybody! With the installer slideshow[1], I ran into some confusion about what we call various new things in Ubuntu:
* The Me Menu. I remember “Me Menu” being a code name at one point. Has that moved up to being what we call it for end users, too? * The messaging menu and other menus are different from the Me Menu in that we don't use title case for them. Is this a conscious decision? * I just noticed indicator-datetime's shiny new configuration panel (yay, a good time zone chooser!) has an option labelled “Show the clock in the menu bar.” Does this mean we're calling the top panel in Unity simply the “menu bar?” (If so, that's really sharp. I like it! I may even learn to fully accept the global menu for this reason). * Applications in the messaging menu and Unity's dash are given generic, task-specific labels like “Chat” and “Browse the web.” This effectively reduces them to built in functions instead of discrete applications. (And I should mention this is inconsistent with the sound menu). When we refer to these functions / applications from a distance, how should we do it? This particular communication issue should probably be backed up in the user interface by changing some .desktop files ;) Is there a nice document (preferably consisting of one or two really awesome pictures) that says what we call stuff in the Ubuntu desktop? There seems to be a lot of confusion floating around. If there isn't such a document, maybe we should make one and publicize it before Natty gets close to release. It would do a lot to improve communication. [1] These questions emerged while writing the latest version of the installer slideshow for Ubuntu (revision 321), seen here: http://people.ubuntu.com/~dylanmccall/ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu/preview/ Thank you!
