Re: [phoenix-dev] RE: UI Templates for eclipse.org - Draft

[Denis Roy <denis.roy@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Andrew,

Before posting this to the newsgroup, let us set up the Phoenix project 
first: this includes CVS and Bugzilla components.

The Call for Contributions post could then indicate that contributors 
should open one bug per submitted template, and use Bugzilla's voting 
mechanism to vote on the design they like best. It would also be good to 
specify that we want design templates as low-res JPG/screenshots -- no 
actual HTML/CSS. In Bugzilla, folks can attach a JPEG to the bug 
(submission).

Once we decide on the template/templates the we and the community like 
best, we would contact the winning "contributor" to kindly ask them for 
the high-res graphics files (an .eps file, or a .ai file, or whatever) 
of their contribution.


* effective of Eclipse software icons and palette
I would specify Effective use of Eclipse software icons, color palettes 
and other visual cues that could help potential users identify the 
website to the product.

Denis
