Greetings, following our discussions at the Pycon 2009 Mailman sprint I've come up with first draft of a/the future mailman 3 web interface.
The interface has changed a lot. Changes follow these principles: * Simplify interface * Focus on tasks * Order and sort by task recurrance * Reduce information overflow e.g. by hiding help messages * Show help messages as bubbles when selected by user * Remove instructions on using a web from * Use default button texts e.g. "Save" instead of "Submit your changes" See also: <http://wiki.list.org/display/DEV/Rest+client> I've come up with a paper prototype, which you can download in an annotated PDF by clicking at "Mailman webinterface draft" at the following location: <http://wiki.list.org/display/DEV/Information+Architecture> Important The version you can download is _not a design_. It's a grid that creates a structure, puts elements we need on a (HTML) page, orders and groups them following the principles I've outlined above. Please feel free to comment on it and ask questions. I've spent the last 5 days clicking the old interface, thinking and sitting before my current proposal - I just might be blind to my own stupidity or brain dead by now. ;) My goal is to agree on an information architecture, so we can go on and create a design that combines functional requirements and aesthetics. Once we've agreed on a design, we will create HTML templates and then we will put them together with the upcoming REST client. p...@rick -- state of mind Agentur für Kommunikation, Design und Softwareentwicklung http://www.state-of-mind.de Franziskanerstraße 15 Telefon +49 89 3090 4664 81669 München Telefax +49 89 3090 4666 Amtsgericht München Partnerschaftsregister PR 563 _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list Mailman-Developers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-developers%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-developers/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9
