[livesupport-dev] style guide document - Airtime Development Discussions on Sourcefabric Forum

import

hello everyone,

sangita and i are anxious to hear comments on our style guide. midterms
just ended here, and we'd love to hear what the developers have to say
about the usefulness of the document in it's current format. we're
hoping that this is what you're looking for and that it will be
helpful for you in the implementation of the graphical user interface.

if it is lacking, let us know how we can improve it to suit your needs.
Once we have a good idea about what its ideal state should be, we will
revise it, complete descriptions for the other modules, and optimize
the graphics for use in the application.

this document should be used as a guide to creating modules that adhere
to the style we decided upon last summer. As for application user
experience, the style guide should be modified to accommodate whatever
we agree is best. The descriptions of user experience can be modified
as we go and "finalized" when the application is ready for release. But
what this document should be doing at every step of the way is making
it clear how to deal with things like palette construction, button
usage, table display, basic elements like that. The first job of the
doc is to describe "how" to use these elements. The discussion of
"when" to use them or "if" we should use them is an evolving one, and
we will incorporate revisions to these kinds of decisions as we go.

how is it going anyway? are you guys almost done? ; )

thanks so much, hope all is well on your side of the planet,

charles

Hi Sangita, hi Charles,

Thanx for your good wishes.
Seems to me that we have problem with mails again.
I sent you several times my comments about Guide User Interface,
but I didn't get any reply from you guys.

Do you have some special filter for my mails? Please tell me you don't. Smile

So, I will send to you again my suggestions in attachment.
Please respond to me if you get this mail and its attachment, so that we
don't have any more misunderstandings.

Lots of greetings and good wishes from this side of the planet and
lots of luck during your elections. Smile

Robert

Robert,

yes, we did get your comments, and we've reviewed them, and would like to implement them in the next revision of the style guide.

what we'd like first is to get some feedback from the developers as to their impressions of the document, so Sangita and I know whether or not the format is useful for their purposes.

Once we hear from them, we'll know a little bit better how to treat this document so that its as useful as possible in building the application.

Then we'll go back and include your comments, and complete the descriptions of the remaining modules.

Does that sound OK?

Charles

sorry for my absence. i will look at the document over the weekend and comment thoroughly. for now i just want to press robert's concerns to the front of the gui considerations (for the live assist mode at least Wink

after all, he is the only person in the team who has a practical radio background and a good knowledge of radio software.

Dear Charles,

I looked at the document, and it seemed very thorough to me. I think
this level of detail is sufficient to create GUIs. What I find missing
is the specific bitmaps that would need to be used to create the GUIs
described in the document, but I guess that would come as some sort of
attachments.
