For the next HackWeek I planned to implement a YaST "reference" module from scratch which implements reference-examples how to actually implement the various stuff which is described in the style guide.
This way we would have both a reference implementation and at the same time an actually running module which shows directly how the stuff is meant to actually work.
My final goal is that such a "reference" module is included in the official YaST system and is there as "the one and only" reference how to implement what is described in the style guide.
What about merging it with the current YaST tutorial? http://forgeftp.novell.com/yast/doc/SL11.1/tutorials/t1.html http://svn.opensuse.org/svn/yast/trunk/doc/tutorials/
This means that any change of the style guide must also be implemented accordingly in the YaST "reference" module, otherwise the change in the style guide would be not yet valid.
That's too strict, I'd say.
I.e. whenever a usability expert describes something in a style guide, he/she must also care about to get in contact with the YaST developers to get it implemented in the YaST "reference" module.
Of course, it makes sense, said that way. L.
