Open But Polished

Why must an open ecosystem of software have such inconsistency in user-experience, and design language? There should be no reason open software cannot be as polished or as cohesive as proprietary alternatives. Therefore, lets make it polished.

The problem I find with existing solutions such as gnome, is that common tools still aren't first class citizens. Libreoffice doesn't exactly fit in to the design language does it?

This project has an end goal of a cohesively designed linux distribution. But currently that is a yacht problem. The aim currently is to build a suite of apps with a consistent design philosophy(see below).

UX Design Guidelines

Principals (Why)

The guidelines for making guidelines, or as I like to call them are the outlining principals for design implementations and standards.

Standards (What)

Standards are a constrain set for implementations. They determine what is adequate rather than how to implement the standards in a design.

TBD

Implementations (How)

Implementations are the method of achieving a standard given a specific context and tradeoffs, additionally they may evolve over time. Implementations are a reference point to applying standards to a design.

TBD
