GUADEC 2010 HIG BoF Notes

Notes from the BoF session on the new version of the HIG:

• Developers prefer screenshots (or screenshot mockups) to wireframes (Charlene)
• Template/examples too wordy-- or at least, present too much information at same time. Would be good to present Mediawiki-style, with a 'Talk' page or similar for the discussion sections.
• Would be useful to have cross-references (both ways) with Gtk docs... patterns point to docs for individual widgets, and Gtk docs point to patterns that use particular widgets.
• Would be great to be able to drag pattern .ui files and/or code samples straight into Glade/Anjuta/other IDE! (Jon)
• Probably not all patterns will use all sections of the template.
• Documentation section possibly not needed, as most patterns probably won't be doing things that the online help needs to describe click-by-click. (Bastien)
