[ui-best-practices-working-group] June 25 p2 UI design walk-through

Hello again!

In the interest of making the 6/25 walkthough as productive as possible, it would be ideal if you arrived at the call having used both the 3.3 and 3.4 Software Updates UI.
- In Eclipse 3.3, choose Help>Software Updates>
- In Eclipse 3.4 (RC4 build or later), choose Help>Software Updates...

If that is not practical for whatever reason, I've prepared a wiki page with links to screen snaps/scenarios for each UI.

http://wiki.eclipse.org/Equinox_p2_UIWG_Walkthrough

This page also lists the discussion topics I hope to follow.

If anyone has any other suggestions for making this walkthrough work well, please let me know.

See you next wednesday...

Subject: [ui-best-practices-working-group] p2 UI design walk-through


Hi, everyone!

I haven't participated in the UIWG before, but am interested in getting some input from you.

I've spent much of the last year working on the UI for p2, which is the provisioning system that has replaced Eclipse Update Manager.
We just finished up our work for Ganymede, and so it's time to triage bugs and prioritize for the next release.

I was hoping to be able to do a walk-through and get some ideas from you folks about how to improve the UI.
In advance I would send out some screen snaps and instructions that take you through Update Manager, what problems there were, what we tried to solve, then trying the p2 UI. Then perhaps a few discussion points surrounding problems we know we have, but mostly an informal discussion of what you think, where/how can we do better, etc.?

Ideally I could be ready for the June 25 meeting.
Would this be ok?

thanks,
Susan McCourt
