Becomes:

• Ways to make inventory easier to use. (Jacek Antonelli 06:59, 4 November 2008 (UTC))

Topic Requests (High Priority)

These are topics that someone has requested to be discussed soon. When selecting the weekly topic, topic requests usually take priority over the fallback topics.

• Support for users with visual disturbances:
  • Alternatives to colour coding for information (e.g. for those with colour blindness, dyslexia, Irlen-Myers);
  • Alternative fonts (serif and sans-serif skins) for improved legibility;
  • Possibly extending to hooking into the blind support tools such as screen readers, tools to enable heightened contrast etc. (Eloise Pasteur 01:34, 12 November 2008 (UTC))
  • Assessibility requirements vary enormously on an individual basis. An open-ended solution to UI extension such as provided by our Client-side Scripting for HUDs and Widgets topic suits this admirably. Morgaine Dinova 07:15, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

• Given the new arrangements under which Lindens now appear only rarely at UEIG meetings, I would like to suggest that the topic we hammered out at the last meeting and which I've now written up be offered for their consideration at the next such "special" meeting (I believe that's scheduled for Thu 4th Dec). As it's reasonably well presented and easy to digest, hopefully we could get a very focussed response. Morgaine Dinova 05:41, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Fallback Topics (Low Priority)

These are topic ideas that would be interesting to discuss, but don't need to be discussed soon.

• Even more about HUDs. We just can't talk about enough! Geneko Nemeth 00:12, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
  • Thinking about it, in-world vendors and signs are very similar to HUDs, except they aren't attached. Geneko Nemeth 00:12, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
• I suggest that we discuss the sad topic of "If Lindens are able to be present here officially now only one hour per month, then in effect any real interest they may have had in receiving feedback on User Experience has been abandoned." Morgaine Dinova 07:27, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
• Status of existing LL UX Studio projects, like Notifications Redesign, Landmark and New Resident Experience (NRI?). --Geneko Nemeth 21:34, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
  • Prototypes for viewer new design and any role the community would play in such new design. --Geneko Nemeth 02:56, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
• (If you have a topic suggestion, edit this page to add it!)

Past Topics

These are topics that have been discussed at past meetings, along with a link to the transcript of the related meeting(s).

• (Nov 6 2008) More details from the Lindens about the partnership with Big Spaceship. E.g. how and in what ways do they plan to improve the new user experience? (Jacek Antonelli 07:05, 4 November 2008 (UTC))
