DISCLAIMER: This is an initial draft of a general guidance on how developers shall work with UX. Please feel free to comment on it, suggest changes, or ask questions about it at any time. As soon as a first stable version emerges, I will announce this on more public channels.
Thanks, --Lutz Hoeger 19:17, 11 June 2007 (CEST).
- When do you need UX?
- High-impact features or issues, e.g. ...
- ...changes to the "initial" user interface (e.g. main menu, tool bars, shortcuts),
- ...work flow changes (e.g. introducing new work flow steps, dialog boxes, error messages),
- ...changing default settings affecting either of the two above
- High-impact features or issues, e.g. ...
- When do you not need UX?
- Guideline available
- Lower-impact features or issues, e.g. ...
- ...changes to "well hidden" parts of the UI, like the "more"-part of a rarely used dialog
- How to contact UX / how to request assistance
- send an e-mail to mailto:discuss@ux.openoffice.org (later to be changed into mailto: issues @ ux.openffice.org)
- What UX needs from you
- issue ID
- short description of the change & why you changed it
- if your change affects the UI, ideally provide a screen shot of your patch in action
- optionally: provide a URL to an install set (preferably Windows, but Linux/MacOSX/Solaris work, too) including your patch
- What can you expect from UX?
- initial response within one week
- a name / OOo issuetracker ID of a UX engineer to assign the issue to
- alternatively, the answer may be "no resources, go with your best guess"
- if you don't hear anything from UX within two weeks, just proceed
