Hi all, I am an interaction architect and active in the openUsability scene.
Some of you know me from my work on GIMP, see: <http://www.mmiworks.net/eng/publications/labels/GIMP.html> Others I have met at the last linuxTag. Hello again. The reason I chime in here is the openPrinting project. The goal of this project is to bring "printing that just works" to every linux desktop. The project has wall–to–wall support of printing manufacturers, linux distros and dektop platforms. Some of you may know this project, Larry Ewing presented the gtk printing dialog spring last year to the openPrinting summit in Atlanta. OpenUsability is also involved with this project, that means that professional usability experts and interaction architects are giving user interaction in the printing workflow a fresh look in a structural way. I am leading the interaction architecture side. Currently we are concentrating on print dialogs, the printer installation side will be dealt with later on in the project. Here is in my blog the progress we have made up to now, in reverse chronological order: <http://www.mmiworks.net/eng/publications/labels/openPrinting.html> Now that we have mock-ups to show of the new concepts we are introducing in the printing dialog, it is the right time to start working with the UI toolkits like gtk on moving towards implementation. I would like to get in touch with those of you who work(ed) on the gtk print dialog, to ramp up a cooperation. look forward to working with you guys, --ps principal user interaction architect man + machine interface works http://mmiworks.net/blog : on interaction architecture _______________________________________________ gtk-devel-list mailing list gtk-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list
