Moved to the GNOME wiki!
== Project Overview ==
We want a way to easily share design details between developers and designers. We want to stay up to date, share screenshots, integrate with IRC and/or mailing lists. We are building Design Hub.

=== Concept ===
 
==== Needs ====
===== Clear Communication =====
Simple communication between developer and designer. Mailing lists to difficult to keep up with, IM to ephemeral, etc.
 
===== Manage Sources =====
Both designers and developers need sources for mockups, not just renderings.
 
===== Notifications =====
Let designers stay updated on what other designers are doing. Give developers intuitive indication of the most recent mockup/design choice.
 
==== Ponies (IE, Stretch Features) ====
Ideas from [http://mairin.wordpress.com/2010/03/01/the-one-where-the-designers-ask-for-a-pony/ Mairin's blog post]
===== IRC Integration =====
One cool idea – if I send a link to my mockup’s page in IRC, a bot sitting in a GNOME IRC channel will see the link and associate any comments about it automatically with that mockup and post the feedback from the IRC user right into the mockup’s page in the web app!
 
===== On Mockup Commenting =====
* Flickr-style ‘notes’ on top of mockups so people can give feedback on specific areas within the mockup image.
* Similar to the flickr-style ‘notes’, allow for areas within the flat mockup image to be drawn out so you can click them to visit the next mockup. (E.g., so I can draw a box over the ‘next’ button in the mockup and make it go to the page for the mockup of the next screen.)
