[ui-best-practices-working-group] Eclipse User Interface Guidelines and

[Bob Fraser <bfraser@xxxxxxx>]

Bjorn, Mike and others,
 
The  User Interface Best Practices Working Group has added 3.x updates to
the Eclipse User Interface Guidelines.  Additional content as been provided
in areas such as, ³UI Graphics², ³Property Views² and ³Context Menus².  The
latest revision of the document can always be found on the wiki at:
 
http://wiki.eclipse.org/User_Interface_Guidelines
 
With regard to the direction that ³Ganymede projects should follow the UI
Guidelines²: Of course project members should refer to the entire document
and follow it as much as is practical.  However, the guidelines are
expansive, so the UI Best Practices Working Group, has put together a UI
Checklist of a dozen items as a Œshort list¹ of important items.
 
It is challenging to put together a short list everyone can agree on, but we
have endeavored to make these items relevant, actionable, and doable.  This
list can be found at:
 
http://wiki.eclipse.org/UI_Checklist
 
None of this is a set of tablets from the mount and we welcome dialog on the
mailing list, ui-best-practices-working-group@xxxxxxxxxxx, via the
guidelines update process,
http://wiki.eclipse.org/UI_Best_Practices_Update_Process or, for the
checklist, on bugzilla https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=205326
<file://localhost/bugs/show_bug.cgi>
 
Best regards,
 
Bob Fraser
