[ui-best-practices-working-group] Reflections on 2009 and ideas for 2010

["Kurejwowski, Eitan" <eitan.kurejwowski@xxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

 

Looking back at 2009 I wonder why this group wasn’t active as the years before.  Is it that there are less members involved? Or perhaps there were less projects with ui related topics? Maybe there were less bugs assigned to the group? I don’t know the answer.

Our team at SAP consists of around 15 designers all working on Eclipse related products. We spend a lot of effort in synchronizing our designs since we are spread all over the world. We want to be harmonized with Eclipse guidelines and we have many questions. We also conduct usability tests and we have interesting data. My feeling was that we weren’t able to share enough with this group. This brings me to 2010. I would like to see a more active UI best practices working group. Let’s show our designs, let’s do UI walkthroughs, let’s meet and chat.

I’ll be happy to hear your thoughts.

 

Happy new year and best wishes,

Eitan
