| RE: [ui-best-practices-working-group] Panel: Usability and User Interface Best Practices in Eclipse |
|
For an RCP representative on the panel I suggest Benjamin Pasero of RSS Owl. I have
never met him and don’t know what he would be like on a panel. But I am
impressed by the UI overhaul that he is doing for RSS Owl 2.0, and RSSOwl is
one of the most comprehensive open source RCP apps that I know of. Here is bio
from the EclipseCon 2007 page: Benjamin Pasero is the
developer of the opensource newsreader RSSOwl. He is well experienced in the
Eclipse Rich Client Platform with a focus on SWT and JFace and has written a
number of articles on this topic, as well as giving workshops at conferences.
Benjamin can be reached via e-mail to bpasero {_at_} rssowl.org. Mik From:

[mailto:ui-best-practices-working-group-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Bob
Fraser All, I
submitted the request for panel. URL is here: http://eclipsezilla.eclipsecon.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4221 We
can use this email thread for conversation or comment right in the bug.
Note this is on Eclipsezilla, you need a different login than bugzilla. I
put this in as a temporary abstract and commented that it will change: Usability and User
Interface Best Practices in Eclipse Eclipse
is a wonderfully extensible toolkit and a powerful tool. However
companies/projects electing to build on Eclipse are often faced with an
overwhelming number of design decisions when it comes to usability and user
interface design. This
open panel will provide developers with an opportunity to discuss best
practices in user interface design and to pose questions about specific issues
to the panel and audience. The
panel includes a cross section of developers with extensive experience
designing and implementing user interfaces in Eclipse. Please
yell now if there are violent objections to this content. Otherwise we will
change it when we have a new draft we can review. Thanks
everyone for your interest and help in putting this panel together!
