.. I've found a Treasure

Not at home ...

Looking at last wiki changes, I found that : User Interface project

And looking at the meeting minutes project it's clear this is an old, but very instructive project*** for Mac OS X port :

- first, people who worked for native controls are not the one who forked the Mac OS X version
- second this project is very promising , and I wonder why it was .. a bit forgotten (hidden looks better).

Last, recently I found that: User Experience Community

The problem, this -very interesting too- project seems to completely ignore Aqua Human Interface Guidelines ( and somewhere the work we do for Mac OS X Aqua version, mainly based on User Experience... )

We did a very important work ( see Aqua topics in the wiki ) and our guidelines are simple : Respect Aqua Human Interface Guidelines (at least what is possible), and postpone what is not directly.

I perfectly understand this is not an obligation to do like Apple, but I found no reference pointing to Aqua Human Interface Guidelines on this site, or in links section. Anyway, I strongly suggest to add one, and read....

Apple is the most avanced company for that, and works since years to improve design and User Experience, and the description is available, for free.

Hmmm ... reinvent the wheel ?
