- indicate clearly that a ''past discussion'' is documented here - point out what is the primary focus for UI design ''currently'' - arrange some links better - use cross-links / Linkfarm; especially cross-link to the discussion regarding Wouter's Workflow proposals (2025)

In the early days of the Lumiera project, there was an extended debate regarding
|
|
GUI concepts and -features, including many proposals from the community.
|
|
Bearing in mind that we have meanwhile gained a clearer understanding what wee
|
|
need to build for the GUI, this _brainstorming phase_ is completed.
|
|
|
|
However, a more focused discussion regarding »Workflow«

|
|
|
|
GUI Brainstorming::
|
|
We got a lot of proposed cool features. In order to channel this great influx of ideas,
|
|
we set up a wiki page to allow basically open proposals. *Joel Holdsworth*, our GUI developer
|
|
at that time, performed the herculean task to walk through this tremendous pile of entries,
|
|
consolidate them and conduct a discussion. The link:GuiBrainstormingReviewed.html[GUI Brainstorming page]
|
|
documents the discussion and some conclusions. Several proposals were sorted out -- it might be
|
|
inspiring to look on the reasons why we
|

|
|
|
|
GUI Proposals::
|
|
In addition, several people contributed complete or focussed concepts and design proposals

Feature discussion::
|
|
Some topics spurred some heightened interest and (controversial) discussion

* link:PieMenu.html[menu / shortcuts]

Timeline Discussion::
|
|
In 2008, Joel reviewed all the available proposals and distilled a more coherent vision
|
|
especially about the timeline, which certainly is at the heart of any video editor. +
