<div>I think we need to focus on expediency and uniformity
primarily. I think we basically have those two things, but
they could both be improved. I would be more than happy to
work on adding a UI guidelines section to the wiki. For those
interested, here is what I've done so far: <a

</div>
<div>It's a bit rough now because it's really guideline-centric,
but I think over time it will come into its own quite nicely.
Constructive criticism is welcome!<br>

<div text="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> I like the idea of
having a role like 'GUI manager' and also the idea of
having style guidelines for the interfaces. Actually, I
think. we already have both of those, as Owen has been
working on writing documentation about existing patterns
on the wiki.<br>
<br>
I am not in favor of approving every change that would
change the screenshots, as that would make the clean-up
work much harder, that Owen, Aleisha and others have done
recently. For bigger changes I'd try sending links to
screenshots/bug reports to the mailing list to get some
opinions - if there is no clear direction, we can still
schedule an official discussion/vote at a meeting.<span

I think that Koha users should voice
their opinion/votes as that the<br>
Koha software, more or less, belongs to
them. Now, what vehicle should<br>
we use to collect everyone's
opinion/vote (like Survey Monkey, Google<br>
forms, IRC voting, etc.) and should
there be a committee formed for<br>
this purpose? Maybe decisions such as
this one should be voted on<br>
during Koha Devl IRC meetings?<br>
