| − | The GIMP project's User Interface is discussed in an open manner through [http://www.gimp.org/irc.html IRC] and a [https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-gui-list dedicated mailing list], in collaboration with users, developers and designers.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The WIKI will contain the user interaction research results, and specifications coming out of our decisions.
| |
| − | Contact the GIMP developers on IRC (the user "ankh" is known to have an admin account) to get a login for the wiki.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Everybody is welcome to [[Procedure_for_Specifications|discuss features and improvements with us]].

| − | ==product vision==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Ultimately, every decision taken by our UI team is about realising the product vision. At the LGM 2006, peter sikking held a workshop with the GIMP team, and helped them to formulated their product vision:
| |
| − | | |
| − | * GIMP is Free Software;
| |
| − | * GIMP is a high-end photo manipulation application and supports creating original art from images;
| |
| − | * GIMP is a high-end application for producing icons, graphical elements of web pages and art for user interface elements;
| |
| − | * GIMP is a platform for programming cutting-edge image processing algorithms, by scientists and artists;
| |
| − | * GIMP is user-configurable to automate repetitive tasks;
| |
| − | * GIMP is easily user-extendable, by ‘one-click’ installation of plug-ins.

| − | ==functionality overview==
| |
| − | | |
| − | To design something, you need to know ''everything'' it is suppose to do. At the beginning of this project a short, sharp [[media:GIMP_functionality.pdf | functionality overview]] was made, based on version 2.3.11 (extra kudos to Kamila for all that work).

| − | | |
| − | These [[User Scenarios]] are used in the GIMP redesign project. They are the result

| − |
| |
| − | A (growing) [[design guide | guide]] for those who design interaction for GIMP, concentrating on how solutions can be fitted into the overall interaction framework, constraints and how things interconnect.
