This is my minimal take off of the Virus Recordings logo and text style. For those of you who don't know who the virus krew (Ed Rush & Optical, Rhymetyme)... better get a move on!

Cheers Linux Headz,
Lemme know what you think.
Ben.

 UX

I just discovered UX. It stands for User Experience. I don't know how much of it there is out there. I have just been reading the website
uxnewsfeed.com

It's about how companies can interact better with their customers. It would be silly for us to dismiss business experience when we can get it. The problems a business has dealing with its customers are no different than those an OS has dealing with its users.

I've been spending a lot of time on interactive fiction (especially the Inform language) and learned a lot about the problems as they see it.
I am trying to figure out what I have learned might apply to GUI design. My initial reaction is not much because the fiction interaction is so much more complex than current GUI interaction. But maybe we would be well advised to think for future situations where complex interaction takes place.

 Guidelines and Concepts

Nice prototype. The interactivity makes the ideas included more clear. As playground it is perfect.

With HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript there is a lot of things possible. The UI may look any way. It reminds me a time where applications had their own original look and usability. But at those times it was a problem, because users must learn every application to use.

The problem was solved over years with GUI toolkit (GUI components etc.). Such toolkit was library programmed for each operating system or each Desktop Environment.

It was also a solution to low memory of a desktop computer, where application shared the GUI toolkit in order to save memory footprint.

With HTML5 etc., there is similar problem to per application original look and usage. One can say it can be solved the similar way with programming a HTML, Javascript toolkit. Yes it is possible. But in the end many applications could be unsatisfied with such toolkit and their developers would choose to create their own toolkit. So I think that instead of making a toolkit or HTML/JavaScript API, there must be some guideline (concept) desription which most of application GUIs or most of GUI libraries or most HTML/JavaScript toolkits have to follow.

The guidelines only says how the desktop would look and function. Such thing is already done with Human Interface Guidelines ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_interface_guidelines ) which should the DE guideline stand on and freedesktop.org ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedesktop.org ) which is a project to make X-Window toolkits offer the same usage from a user's experience (such that applications using KDE toolkit would be very similar in usage as applications in GNOME and vice versa). The HTML/JavaScript guideline should play the same role as freedesktop.org.

The guideline must be not too complex in order to allow a wide range of applications to follow it. On the other hand there could be some more guidelines (concepts) for example a General User UI Concept, Administration Concept (concept for system administrators - terminal etc.), Graphics and multimedia concepts (like DTP, 3D creations, movie creations etc.), Server System Concept, and so on.

Maybe we should make difference between a "guideline" term and a "concept" term. The difference is that "guideline(s) is enough general to make wide variety of GUIs following it. The "concept" is more specific and describes for example a HTML/JavaScript "components", desktop, icons, functionality. The concept is only a document describing functionality and look of a toolkit, but it is not programmed toolkit. To explain it exactly lets say the GNOME is a coded toolkit. The GNOME concept is only a document describing the GNOME toolkit. With such description the GNOME developers exactly know what is a Gnome-Shell and what should it do and then they develop the Shell in C++.

So we can make a guideline and then a FluiDE-HTML/JavaScript concept (what is a document describing the FluiDE desktop) and developers can then code their own FluiDE toolkit exactly build for their single application. Then they need not to share any of HTML/JavaScript code among applications from different developer groups and all applications will look and function very similar.

Of course as well as web application frameworks are created (Joomla, Drupal etc.: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_web_application_frameworks ) there could also be finished coded FluiDE toolkit or many other toolkits and frameworks shared among applications from wide range of developers.

The primary goal of a guideline is making usage over wide range of applications very similar (preventing a user to learn how to use every application) etc. The concept is a specific (but still anough general and open) to create UI (to say it exactly the GNOME concept exactly describes the GNOME DE and developers can create their own toolkits and frameworks which would look and behave exactly as a GNOME DE - so there could be per application specific GNOME DEs with or without sharing the framework).

Our task could be only to create very smart concept(s) which they really worth to follow. Plus code a FluiDE DE - as a real working example of what the concept is capable of. And if the FluiDE code will be perfectly written, it could be shared and meet with a success.

These are my thoughts today.
