-------------------- Previous action items
----------------------------------------------------
1. by one week (August 23) - Decision on what the wording of
the scope/charter for the group. Discussions to happen via this email list.
2. by the next call (two weeks; August 30) - Our goals for
membership in the working group. While all members are welcome to actively
participate, there are certain representatives that we would like to make an
extra pitch to include - for example, representatives of major consumers and
major downstream projects.
3. by the next call (August 30) - Suggestions for how to
gather input via bugzilla. There are many possible strategies including a new
product for all UI issues; special searches for UI issues across existing
products; special keywords; advertising to the larger community about where to
put these issues, etc. Each of us will suggest one or more techniques and we'll
discuss them and find a good solution/compromise.
4. by ??? - Collecting the good and the bad from Callisto: examples
of poor user interface/user interaction and examples of good UI. To be used as
part of the guidelines.
