I just got a wild idea. What about an UI design contest?
I know people not familiar with YaST development tend to overlook our ncurses limitations and the implications of using libYUI... but maybe we can still get good ideas.
A GSoC project would be another possibility... but I really doubt such thing would success.
The good news is that the logic for fiddling with devices (Y2Storage) is clearly separated from the UI code (Y2Partitioner), so reimplementing only the latter would be doable (unlike with the old yast2-storage).
Any redesign will require new widgets no matter how hard you try with what libyui provides. Whether it be menubar https://github.com/libyui/libyui/issues/158 Or a more functional graph widget https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1096900 Which I would argue we need both for a successful redesign of the module. Arguably both widgets are very possible with both ncurses and qt, they just need to be implemented. I agree bringing in design people would be beneficial, but the question is how much time and resources are you willing to actually put to redesign.
