Project Interface Style Guide

Hello everybody,

If you own the Amiga User Interface Style Guide and would like to contribute to the platform, join us.
The goal is to write something along the same general idea for future developers. We need a reference guide to keep coherency in our programs. This should help new comers to rapidly "feel at home".

This is not a paid job. You'll do it on your spare time and there is no deadline.

This is an opportunity for non-developers to help the platform.

Anybody interested?

@Elwood

That's a very good idea!

@orgin

indeed!

very yes!

@Amigo1

Do you own the guide? Just checking

I'll wait to see if more people join and we'll start working on it.

@Elwood

Nice idea Elwood! Too sad, I haven't the original style guide. The German compressed version from "M&T" I have is very limited.

Yes.

And I have the "AMIGA User Interface Style Guide"

@Elwood

unfortunately not, I thought it to be on the developer CD v2.1
where can I get it?

@Amigo1

It's the problem. It doesn't exist in electronic form. Hence the idea to rewrite one.
You can buy the book on Amazon.

@Elwood

I have an amigaguide version here, that I've downloaded from somewhere, without the pictures.

intresting.. should have googled before ordering..
but without pics it maybe isn't so much of an help

@Elwood

got one on amazon!

@salass00

Oh, I didn't know there was an electronic version.

@Elwood

Be aware that it is copyrighted material and as such any site hosting such an electronic copy is on the wrong side of the law.

However, a newly written Style Guide is a very good idea.

@Chris

Sure.
But it's copyrighted only if there is any copyright holders left. Right?

@Elwood

I hope this project is supported by Hyperion and the OS4
team? Otherwise it's not much use IMO.
This kind of documentation is really important and should
be official.
