Re: new design mock-ups

 

You're perfectly right.

That is why the title of the blueprint I started is only "drupal-front-end-design", I am aware this is only the top of the iceberg.

To tell the truth, I was hoping on a little more people participating to the debate. You see, I'm afraid I am not a good enough programmer to code this background machinery with bazaar and launchpad, etc... All I am familiar with (code-speaking) is Web design, so that's where I put my efforts. I would simply *love* if someone a little more aware of how the engine, to re-use the analogy, will be built up would make his voice heard ;-)

On the diy wiki there is talk about background functioning, about launchpad, metafiles and bzr for instance, but it is still relatively scattered and un-precise, and I'd like to see that get more concrete too...

Will you be there on Saturday?

have a nice day,
Pierre



Onno Benschop a écrit :
While I appreciate the ongoing emails with new designs and graphics, I
think we might be running a little ahead of ourselves here.

So far, the only discussion on structure was the email from Neal and
that discussion seemed pretty minimal.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to dis the contributions, but I'm a
little concerned that there are no specs (that I'm aware of) that say
what specific functionality requirements exist. That is, there is no
sense of the blueprints with use cases, no requirements, no set-out that
says, we're going to do this.

As I see it, and please, feel free to disagree with my analogy, but
imagine that spread-ubuntu is a car. At the moment we're discussing what
shape the mirrors have and what colour to paint the bumpers, but there
has been no discussion about how much load capacity it has, what fuel
consumption, which buyers, how many wheels, what shape, etc.

While it feels great to discuss the colours, it doesn't actually build a
car that others can use.

Of course there might be documentation that I missed, in which case, can
someone please point me to it?
