[HIG] More information about today's meeting

[Adam Elman <aelman users sourceforge net>]

Here is how today's HIG meeting (2000 GMT/1PM PDT, irc.gnome.org 
#hig) is going to work.

1) Adam self-flagellates for not having checked in the usability 
principles section yet.  I suck, sorry.  Fortunately, I think this 
section can probably wait.

2) Once we get through that, we will go through the current document 
(again, posted at
http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/index.html ) 
point-by-point, starting with the section on Menus & Toolbars.  (We 
will _not_ be discussing the Introduction tomorrow.)  The goal is to 
explicitly note which points in the HIG require further discussion, 
and which can be essentially set in stone as of tomorrow.  The goal 
is not to resolve conflicts; any disagreement that can't be resolved 
in a minute or two *will* be tabled.

For each point, we will establish whether there is general agreement 
or disagreement.  If there is disagreement, we will discuss *only* 
long enough to establish the parameters of the disagreement.  I'm 
going to be rather aggressive about tabling discussions for the 
mailing list.  Otherwise this meeting will go on for six hours (and 
I'd really like to keep it under two).

So please, please be prepared to note specific objections that you 
have to points, be prepared to suggest an alternative briefly, and 
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE be prepared to agree to disagree _for the 
moment_ on just about everything so that we can get through the 
entire document.  Hopefully there will be things that we can resolve 
very quickly, but I expect that most things won't fall into that 
category, and it's more important to note them and get on to things 
that might.

If we get to an hour and we're less than halfway through, we may need 
to consider an alternative, but let's see how things go first...

Adam
