Charter

The mandate of the working group is to help improve the usability across the Eclipse projects that are part of the simultaneous release effort.

To this end, the working group will do the following:

  • Facilitate usability discussions within projects and across projects. This may include one or more of the following activities:
    • Trigger usability post-mortems to be performed by the different projects
    • Conduct regular "show and tells" with UI leads from the projects to shed spotlight on problem areas and promote good ideas as best practices
    • Do an end of release UI review and come up with a cross-project list of polish items
  • Update the Eclipse User Interface Guidelines in time to be of value for the 2007 Eclipse release train.

Details of the activities of this working group can be found here.

History

The EMO was instructed by the Board on July 19, 2006 to facilitate the creation of this working group. Each Strategic Developer member will make a good faith effort to find a resource within their firm to contribute to the working group, one of whom will act as the chair. Other members may also contribute.

The EMO will add conformance to the UI Guidelines as a Release Review exit criterion.
