That opens a question - what can we do to prevent our users to get lost in the new UI? For me, that actually splits in two questions:
1) What can we adjust in the UI to make the transition smoother and/or to improve usability in general?
2) What can we do to communicate the change better to all possible users?
The "all possible users" is a pretty important part here. We discussed the UI changes quite openly during implementation and they should not come as a surprise to people following the Factory mailing list or our blog posts. But that's a very small subset of all the (open)SUSE users. We need to reach all openSUSE users (maybe news.opensuse.org is the way for that) and all SLE users (maybe linking to that article or to any other from the release notes). Should we consider something beyond writing a blog post and linking to it? Maybe some video? If we do a video or something similar. Should it really be about the differences with the classic UI or should we just do a general presentation of all the YaST Partitioner functionality, just like if it was new? I think the latter would be more useful. Maybe we should ask for help from other (open)SUSE teams, like documentation or marketing. Cheers. -- Ancor González Sosa YaST Team at SUSE Linux GmbH
