This is a suggestion for a quite different type of topic that may or may not be appropriate for these mailing lists. I have been giving some thought to future development of standards for user interfaces. Below is a quick summary of the proposed direction and objectives. Several rough concept papers are also available. My question is does anyone know of someone or some organization, which would be interested in a development of such a proposal. I am a retired software systems architect and interested in some form of collaboration. Bill Clare ------------------------------ Imagine one primarily declarative specification language, with minimal scripting required, that: · Simplifies Language ¨ XML based but with a greatly modified syntax for ease of use. ¨ Modular - with small flexible units of specification, that can be easily and systematically combined. · Integrates Rendering and Manipulation ¨ Integrates and simplifies HTML, CSS, etc. capabilities to provide the user interface for any desktop application. ¨ Integrates these uniformly with document (open office, goggle docs, etc.) capabilities. ¨ Is systematically adaptable to devices, environments, preferences, user roles and access control. · Integrates Data Operations ¨ Supports generic specification for storage, transfer, presentation and interaction with generic data – items, aggregate, sequence, hierarchy, graph, network, etc. ¨ Provides generic data operations to minimize dependence on data location, structure, format, representation, etc.. · Integrates Applications ¨ Uniformly supports dynamic interactions with users, collaborators, data sources, services, applications and systems. ¨ Provides consistent and comprehensive error handling.
