GUI Design and Feature Discussion
=================================
//Menu: put child ConceptProposals after GuiBrainstormingWontImplement
//Menu: put child TimelineDiscussion after ConceptProposals
In the early days of the Lumiera project, there was a lot of debate regarding
GUI concepts, -features and proposals.
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

* link:Workspaces.html[about Workspace organisation]
* link:scrolling.html[about scrolling..]
* link:MenuAndShortcuts.html[Ideas for menus and 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.
This page with link:TimelineDiscussion.html[Conclusions by Joel Holdsworth] is
_must read_ for anyone engaged into Lumiera GUI development.
