10 The process involves the creation of specifications, analysis, mockups, partial prototypes and even final versions of the proposals made. The aim of these proposals are to improve XWiki's UI look&feel, usability and interaction.
11
12 * Design //improvements/development// are made according to the current [[XWiki Enterprise Roadmap>>http://enterprise.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Roadmap]]
13
14 * Design //discussions// are made on [[IRC>>http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/IRC]] or on the [[mailing lists>>http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/MailingLists]]
15 ** design discussions on mailing lists have [Proposal] in the subject field
16 ** design discussions on mailing lists are usually sent both to (users AT xwiki.org) and (devs AT xwiki.org), depends on what kind of feedback is requested
17 ** if you are not following the mailing lists, you can browse for the proposal mails on XWiki's [[Markmail mailing list archives>>http://xwiki.markmail.org/]] (example: [[[Proposal] Rights Management UI>>http://markmail.org/thread/zgzufskvhe6xt6ey]])
