[maemo-developers] Fw: Proposal: MeeGo User Experience Framework working group

[From: Randall Arnold]

Note sure if this email made it to this list last night, so I'm
resending.  Apologies for duplicates.

Note: I do intend to create a working group proposal at MeeGo.com, I just
have not yet figured out how to add the page.

  Subject: Proposal: MeeGo User Experience Framework working group
  Date: Tue, 02 Mar 2010 23:41:21 -0600

  Greetings all,

  As some of you know I've been working on a project that was called
  the "Maemo User Experience Framework".  The goal was to develop a
  means of getting user-friendly feedback tools and processes onto and
  wrapped around Maemo devices-- particularly for application testing
  and bug reporting.

  The scope has increased a bit to include donationware support and
  even a proposal for an Ovi-based gaming experience (achievements,
  etc).

  With the advent of MeeGo I have naturally changed the focus to that
  platform, and I think MeeGo's embryonic state allows us an
  opportunity to really think about the necessary metadata and other
  aspects to support this proposal, and actually implement them.

  The suggestions in the following proposal already exist in the
  desktop world in various services, so we have examples to learn
  from.  In addition, some tools such as Bugzilla already present a
  robust API for a MeeGo application to utilize. I have already created
  a Garage project on maemo.org called "Buzzard" for the handheld
  Bugzilla client app, but no real work has started (Qt python
  developers wanted!).

  I have linked the latest draft of my proposal below.  So far I have
  included Andrew Flegg's ideas for donationware support (which was
  based on Maemo and will likely need some alterations) and am looking
  for more suggestions and technical guidance from the community.  In
  addition, I want to propose a MeeGo working group for this project as
  I lack the skills and time to make all of this happen.  I am
  especially hoping Andrew, Henri Bergius, Attila Csipa and more will
  jump in!

  So if anyone thinks this is a good idea, please join in and let's
  make MeeGo the OS to envy!
