Hi all,
I'm sure those of you who subscribe to the desktop-devel-list will
have been watching the recent thread on prototyping [1] with
interest. In this thread, it was recently suggested [2] that
prototyping of the new designs [3] should happen right now. I'm
wondering what people on this list think of that suggestion.
Personally, I am keen to exploit this situation as a possibility for
usability people and developers to start working more closely
together. If we want to do this though, then usability work needs to
get under way sooner, rather than later - since it is clear that the
development work isn't going to wait for us.
I'd certainly support prototyping this stuff sooner rather than later
as well-- but to be honest, that's the easy part, the hard part is
doing the right things with those prototypes to get the feedback we
need.
If we can put a plan in place to do that, we're well on the way.
Cheeri,
Calum.
