Actually, I don't think so. Except if you mean "everyone". That would be
a target audience that is no target at all. No base for decisions

Thanks for the feedback. That reminded me of the new feature of
notify-osd that hides it under a window that is set fullscreen. That's
just a side effect of the bug fix for flickering windows but it's also a
good example of being unobtrusive because it avoids disturbing the user

+1 unobtrusive ;-)
Some other Linux-based systems never call for your attention. One of
Ubuntu's strengths is that it tells you when som

That's correct! :)
Actions are manifestations of principles and principles are
manifestations of values. A more extensive study could be done to
confirm this but a quick reference to the dictionary and my knowledge as
a Psychology major affirms the idea.

Sir, you mean, have a specific Ayatana UX manifesto that is clearly for
Ubuntu (the GNOME desktop) alone and another one for
Great ideas!
Your message made me think that there is a very close link between
values and principles. Values should be at the source of our principles
and principles should be formulated in a way that is actionable and
tangible for designers. For example, it is difficult for designers to

Borrowing heavily from the format and content of Google's UX principles

Everyone, thanks for the feedback.
To be clear, I just mentioned some examples that would be relevant to
Ubuntu's current state. I am not opposing the development of projects like
Breathe. I was just trying to define consistency and to justify its

It is a good thing that Ubuntu has been paying much attention to UX through
this project. This is what open source (and technology in general) needs
very much.
