Hello Launchpadders, We want Launchpad to have an awesome interface. To get there we need to improve our overall level of polish. There are plans to work on redesigning layouts and lots of other fun things, but there is something we can do now: fix bugs.
Recently I've started tagging bugs with 'ui-easy'. The "easy" part is a bit of a misnomer. Basically they are bugs that follow the following: - only take a couple of hours to fix, - they don't require much (or any) discussion, and - minimal coding work. You can see the list here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad/+bugs?field.tag=ui-easy At this point I've only been through the High and Medium bugs and there are already 50 bugs on that list. There are a couple of things you can do to help. One is to tag bugs like these. If you're not entirely sure if a bug fits this category then tag it anyway and the person who picks it up will quickly discover if it really is straightforward or not. The other thing you can do is help me fix these bugs. One thing to remember is that sometimes with UI bugs the solution is not always what has been proposed by the bug reporter. Just as we have goals like page requests to be sub one second and zero OOPSes, one of my goals for the UI is zero WTF moments (unfortunately there are no easy metrics for knowing when we've achieved this). There are a lot of these in Launchpad at the moment, and fixing these bugs will be a big step in the right direction. As always if you have questions about UI stuff, please do not hesitate to ask me or organise a call. Cheers, Huw _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
