Re: Ubuntu User Experience Guidelines

 

FYI, about the "Tango compliance". People in Ayatana are not working only
for Ubuntu, and certainly not only for GNOME. Breathe is the perfect exemple
of a community project that has between nothing and nothing to do with GNOME
or Tango, I don't see why it would follow guidelines that are not relevant
to what it is.

Consistency is certainly not "clone(gnome) && clone(tango)". This is lack of
innovation and diversity. There certainly are great things in every project,
but I don't see why you would feel the need for everyone to just
"paraphrase" what's been done already. GNOME HIG and Tango are not perfect,
and they don't make everyone happy. It's certainly not their goal, but it
seems to be the belief of some of their advocates...

And sorry, but I don't see the link between Ubuntu's openness and UX
guidelines.
