Interface Team

[Jason Filby]

Hi all

There's interest in forming an interface team, and I think it's worth
exploring. This team would be responsible for all visual styling that
goes on in the project. This includes ReactOS UI design and the look &
feel of the website.

So far both mf (as known on IRC, and has come up with most of our
current icons in ReactOS) and Mikko Tikkanen (has done a great mock-up
for the site: http://devnet.dnsalias.net/guidesign/web_mockup.jpg)
have shown interest in heading this team. If anyone else wants to
throw their hat into the ring - feel free to do so.

It'll probably come down to a vote - but first if the respective
people could tell everyone more about themselves and perhaps the
related UI experience they have.

Regards
Jason

As you see, I'm sort of an all-hands graphics person, and the one and 
only argument I will use in favor of myself, is that I've basically done 
everything and anything with regard to graphics, not just UI stuff. 
Apart from that, I'm only moderate in most fields, though I consider 
myself quite experienced with icons (I will leave the "good" or "bad" in 
the eye of the beholder), so well, we'll see who y'all prefer.

That'll be all!

Best Regards, mf (Mindflyer).

I love it too. I think it goes a good way between simplicity and 
professionality. I'd like to work together with these two guys.

Hello,

I'd like to join this team as well. To see the abilities, please visit http://ddreams.ahoj.sk/prezCDfinal/index.htm and see. 
there's a bit of "web-design" and graphics that I was able to put together year and a half ago. Well that was meant to be put on a 
CD not on a web and some parts are missing (don't try german section).
I think I can come in handy especially for testing as I use a lot of different browsers on different computers and a huge range of 
screen resolutions.

Greets,

Fero
