The aim of the Inkscape UI team is to improve the Inkscape user experience by enhancing the intuitiveness, consistency and logic.
The responsibilities of the Inkscape User Interface team will be:
1. Provide a positive working environment for producing UI designs.
2. Create UI documents and guides to be reference in future UI developments.
3. To prove UX proposals with user testing with user-case analysis and benchmarking.
4. Offer complete solutions to developers when implementing new features.
5. Work with developers in a consensus to achieve a finale design.
Scope of Design proposals:
1. Inkscape Graphical User Interface (GUI) (inkscape)
2. Inkscape command-line interface. (inkscape)
3. Inkscape website, wiki, social messaging (inkscape-web)
4. Inkscape documentation, books and other media (inkscape-docs)
What to expect from the Inkscape project:
1. Decisions made by the UI team should be respected by developers.
2. Designers should be engadged in good-faith consensus building.
3. Changes to design may happen without consultation, but...
4. Designers are permitted to request a meeting to discuss the change.
The composition and management:
1. It is part of the Inkscape project.
2. The team is a collective of volunteers with no hierarchy.
3. Anyone from inside or outside of the Inkscape project is welcome to join.
4. Arbitration will follow the same process as other Inkscape teams.
This is a follow up from the previous draft by Xavi
In the first sentence, at the end it sounds as if an 'of ...' were missing.
Is 2:2 and 2:4, 'Designers' a shorthand for 'members of the UI team'?
It would be nice to have a reference to this: "Arbitration will follow the same process as other Inkscape teams." so newcomers will understand better what it exactly means (like me).
Thanks!
engadged -> engaged
to be reference -> to be referenced
"with user testing with user-case analysis and benchmarking."
Maybe better phrasing:
"with user testing, user-case analysis and benchmarking."
