[dtp-dev] Final connectivity usability design for review until 4/11


Hi all...
 
I've posted a new Wiki page that documents the updated usability work we've done for DTP Connectivity UI in Ganymede. Unless there are fervent objections, these will be the changes that are delivered into the main DTP codeline for our 1.6 release. These changes will require minimal work by adopters and I will make sure that it's as little as possible. But I believe the risk is well worth the reward in simplified usability for both users and adopters.
 
The Wiki page is at: http://wiki.eclipse.org/Connectivity_Usability_Ganymede
 
As I spell out at the top of that page, "The Plan" is as follows:

>Please leave comments in this bug: [BZ 225651 [1]]

>You have until Friday, April 11 to submit comments. On Monday, April, 14, I will start delivering code into the DTP Ganymede code stream.

Pretty simple. By documenting any comments/criticisms in the bug, we should have better accountability going forward. If you don't have BugZilla access, you can reply to either the eclipse-dtp newsgroup or dtp-dev mailing list. But if you do have BZ access, I'd rather capture your comments there.
 
Thank you so much for all the great feedback we had for the first round of design and again at the BoF at EclipseCon last month. All of it has been greatly appreciated.
 
So I look forward to your comments!
