[HIG] A new plan for HIG

[Adam Elman <aelman users sourceforge net>]

HIG folks --

So I've spent several hours over the last few days integrating 
comments into the HIG draft.  I have decided not to actually complete 
this integration; I got most of the reviews integrated, but have not 
included all of Greg, Colin, or Maciej's comments (sorry guys).  The 
doc is committed to CVS as hig_draft1_comments.sgml; I also have a 
PDF version at http://64.194.11.129/~aelman/hig_draft1_comments.pdf

HOWEVER: This is not all that important.  What I have realized in 
doing this task is that, unfortunately, there are very few clear 
decision-making points in this document where we can really resolve 
any concerns via a vote.  Rather, there are several sections which 
need serious rethinking and rewrite, and there are some general 
overriding concerns which need to be addressed by the authors of each 
section.

HENCE, here's what we're gonna do.  If you don't like it, wah. :)

0) No IRC review meeting.  Folks who want to meet on IRC to discuss 
specific issues of concern to them in specific sections of the doc 
are welcome to propose a meeting time, but we are not going to go 
through the entire document.

1) On Monday (tomorrow), I will write and post a document detailing 
the changes that are necessary in each section.  Some of these 
changes will be more general than others.  These changes will be 
based on all the reviews which have been submitted (including those 
which I didn't actually get "integrated" into the above doc).
2) In the next 14 days, authors will integrate those changes into 
their sections and resubmit.  If you don't want to make certain 
changes, or are confused about the changes that need to be made, 
please feel free to discuss those changes on the mailing list.  If 
you don't want to do it, or don't have time, let us know and we'll 
find somebody else to rewrite your section for you.
3) As sections are committed, please send an email to hig gnome org 
so that we can start reviewing changes as they happen.  I think we 
should do this at the major-section level.  Hopefully, after 2 weeks, 
we'll have a version which we're all comfortable posting to a wider 
audience for further review.

Adam
