+1 for 'Style guidelines' and 'GUI manager'
Regarding the Wiki:
https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Interface_patterns
https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Developers_Handbook (1.2 User
Interface)
Should this be consolidated in one document?

I think we need to focus on expediency and uniformity primarily. I
think we basically have those two things, but they could both be
improved. I would be more than happy to work on adding a UI guidelines
section to the wiki. For those interested, here is what I've done so
far: https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Developers_Handbook
It's a bit rough now because it's really guideline-centric, but I
think over time it will come into its own quite nicely. Constructive
criticism is welcome!

I like the idea of having a role like 'GUI manager' and also the
idea of having style guidelines for the interfaces. Actually, I
think. we already have both of those, as Owen has been working on
writing documentation about existing patterns on the wiki.
I am not in favor of approving every change that would change the
screenshots, as that would make the clean-up work much harder,
that Owen, Aleisha and others have done recently. For bigger
changes I'd try sending links to screenshots/bug reports to the
mailing list to get some opinions - if there is no clear
direction, we can still schedule an official discussion/vote at a
meeting.

I would rather have a Interface guideline the same way we
have coding guidelines.
I'm pretty sure that there are some UX design patterns
available somewhere.
If we would like to have a rules, I would suggest that
something that changes the screenshot used in the user
documentation should be approved, especially when it doesn't
add features.

I'm concerned that we are going down a road where every
patch submitted to the Koha project will end up requiring a
community vote. I think it would be more reasonable and
efficient to add a community UI manager role to the project.
Someone who is empowered to make executive decisions on this
matter. Either that or accept that the way team rules on
this matter. The community votes them in after all!

Owen,
I think that Koha users should voice their opinion/votes
as that the
Koha software, more or less, belongs to them. Now, what
vehicle should
we use to collect everyone's opinion/vote (like Survey
Monkey, Google
forms, IRC voting, etc.) and should there be a committee
formed for
this purpose? Maybe decisions such as this one should be
voted on
during Koha Devl IRC meetings?
