Hi,
But you agree that creating mockups alone won't help you finish the goal of a theme that works for all applications, right?
It would be a solid base in a traditional project-management.
I'm with coolo here. We are working on incremental steps forward to get the skin working with all applications. For this we need versions of these applications running with the bento theme to give you real world feedback. To not make the bento umbrella sprint drift appart in different directions we have the webdesign project which is under your control and the authoritative source. Do you have examples which projects don't follow or duplicate stuff that is done in webdesign/ ?
So I think the approach to "define something, try it, redefine it, try it again, redefine it, try it again till it works" is a good one - it just needs to be clear that all our porting efforts are part of the great "define a common theme" goal and to me it is.
Yep, but I'm a bit afraid, that the "umbrella" drift more and more apart.
Then again I must say I asked you the week before christmas what the timeline for bento is and you said it's only weeks from finished not months (I asked you explicitly) and you agreed that starting to experiment with it for build.o.o is good.
That's correct. It was an experiment. I'm just saying, that I see us running into the same problems as last time. I'm _not_ saying "Person A made everything wrong".
We should think about, how to avoid the old misstakes.
As most of us were not involved in the last redesign: Which were the problems and how do you suggest to avoid them? I think the problems were that each app duplicated the design files and did local changes to it. But I didn't see this happening in the apps I work on.
