Re: Unity: An interactive Mock up of GUI ideas

 

I have attached the webstats for the mock up page.

In a very simplistic fashion, this gives data about user interaction and
experience. 

If development of any UI could happen transparently on the web in the
form of an advanced, fully usable dashboard (such as my mock up would
like to be), I can see the following advantages:

1: A goldmine of data regarding the usage is available to devs

2: A platform exists to follow comments and discussion from a huge
potential base of ordinary users who usually would not engage in
development.

3:Regular user prefs and customisations are exposed to a phenomenal
degree compared to the text feedback on Ayatana, which is slanted to
what a small, advanced community of users perceive.

4:It is fun and promotes Ubuntu to the whole regular user world with
zero risk and effort to them - could help a lot with bug No. 0001
