The luxury of ignorance: A follow-up (NewsForge)The luxury of ignorance: A follow-up (NewsForge)Posted Mar 2, 2004 16:52 UTC (Tue) by mmarq (guest, #2332)In reply to: The luxury of ignorance: A follow-up (NewsForge) by Aguila Parent article: The luxury of ignorance: A follow-up (NewsForge) Very good posting... If i could read it correctly, than "we" need a broad and encompassing "Human Ienterface Standard"... a "Open Source Human Interface Standard"... This is not easy in Open Source world because of the very large, different cultures, and "had hoc" nature of the community... but a defined standard could provide the guidelines upon which "The large majority" of projects can build upon... What most strikes as need here, is not the condemnation of the controversy of possible very different( or not) approaches for the same problem (like Gnome vs KDE),... but the wisdom that a standard cannot please everybody everywere. The open source world has to group itself behind some specific "human interface standard" rules, even if those rules are very broad and loose defined... because more rules can always be changed to something better and more confusion can only change to caos.
