hi all..

i'm eating some apples and croisants right now between loads of boxes to the 
new house, and thought i'd take this moment to write an email to this list to 
keep things moving ...

when the idea of this list was first brought to my attention there seemed to 
really be three major goals of it ... and i think perhaps we should start 
working on those goals right from the beginning to keep focus and to keep 
from simply moving kde-usability to kde-usability-devel. here are the goals 
as i remember them:

 1. Set up a portal website for usability that is more inclusive than 
exclusive and contains a number of usability resources covering as much of 
KDE development and GUI design as possible.

 2. Rework the KDE UI Guidelines. Update them, expand upon them, host them at 
the new usability web site.

 3. Create a "safe" place for KDE developers to ask questions and get 
qualified answers regarding UI issues. kde-usability is a bit too "wild" and 
"free-for-all"; developers want something a bit more erudite and streamlined. 
kde-usability-devel should be able to give them that.

I'd appreciate comments from Thomas, Jan, Eba and Jutta in particular since 
they were the ones who formulated much of what you see above, though I've 
probably paraphrased heavily =)

we may want to discuss each of the above points in separate threads and decide 
how to approach and implement them... 

and now.. back to packing for me...
