[Usability] Prototyping the next generation panel

[Allan Day <allanpday gmail com>]

Hi all,

I'm sure those of you who subscribe to the desktop-devel-list will have 
been watching the recent thread on prototyping [1] with interest. In 
this thread, it was recently suggested [2] that prototyping of the new 
designs [3] should happen right now. I'm wondering what people on this 
list think of that suggestion. Personally, I am keen to exploit this 
situation as a possibility for usability people and developers to start 
working more closely together. If we want to do this though, then 
usability work needs to get under way sooner, rather than later - since 
it is clear that the development work isn't going to wait for us.

Best,

Allan
