I think the quick answer here is no - it is
not covered in our current draft material. But I agree we can and
should provide guidance here. However I think this area of
knowledge is still quite immature when compared to some of the
other GUI patterns we're putting into the HIG.
I think it should be explored, with the caveat that it can change
quickly and that (hopefully) the Gnome usability team will keep on
top of industry standards and best practices via HIG updates.

Good
catch. It actually has to be covered.
Is it, guys?

Hello,
I just read about handling of touchscreen and gestures at MSDN
[1] and was
wondering if Gnome HIG discuss that topic as well. MS discuss
some important
issues like control size, distance of controls and feedback etc.
But IMHO it
is a more technological approach, at least with the recommended
use and
support of 40 gestures [2]. A user-centered design should start
with human
capabilities, which might be very limited for kinaesthetic, and
implementation
have to be completely different from the current, perhaps. Are
there any plans
for Gnome?
Kind regards,
Heiko.
