More specifically, a couple of the features we had in mind were: * On the home page, ability to search patterns by text or tag, or browse patterns visually, or see which patterns/guidelines have been recently added or updated. (I wouldn't say these are particularly beautiful examples, but http://developer.yahoo.com/ypatterns and http://ui-patterns.com are in the same sort of ballpark.) * Ability for designers to have, and users to see, at least some of the design conversation alongside each pattern or guidelines page that resulted in those guidelines/patterns. (Think MediaWiki's discussion tab, perhaps.) With GNOME design increasingly happening across IRC, git and various wiki pages, and feedback coming from even wider sources like bugzilla, Planet GNOME and Google+, it's not always easy for new contributors to quickly figure out how we got to where we are, and to avoid making mistakes that we may have already made for them :) Cheeri, Calum. -- CALUM BENSON, Interaction Designer Oracle Corporation Ireland Ltd. mailto:[email protected] Solaris Desktop Team http://blogs.oracle.com/calum +353 1 819 9771 Any opinions are personal and not necessarily those of Oracle Corp.
