Microsoft products, complies with the standards in the Windows interface

work cooperatively as

a team with program managers, usability testers, developers, and designers to

|
<p>Hi Mark,</p>
|
|
<p>Thanks again for meeting with Annette and I, and for giving us a short demo
|
|
of RCML. This looks like it could be a great tool for the UI text team for 2001.
|
|
The greatest added functionality for us would be the ability to show revision
|
|
marks. UI text writers need to have a way to show UI text editors what text
|
|
changes they're proposing to make. Likewise, we also need to have a way to show
|
|
the feature teams what we're proposing to change, without forcing them to
|
|
proofread every line of text to see what's different. We currently mark up
|
|
bitmaps so that PMs and devs can see the original UI and our proposed changes.
|
|
Here's an example:</p>
|
|
<p><img SRC="images/usered.gif" WIDTH="403" HEIGHT="447"></p>
|
|
<p>So, for RCML, we'd still need to have a way to show what we're proposing to
|
|
change. It might be cool if there was some kind of layering functionality. For
|
|
example, the changed text would appear in a different font color, but it would
|
|
be easy for the dev to go back to see what was there before. The problem with
|
|
visual studio, for example, is that, sure, we can go in and make the text
|
|
changes, but there's no way to show the feature team what we've changed, and we
|
|
can't go off and make changes without their buyoff. :-) So, we need an easy way
|
|
for them to look at our changes and hit the "presto" button if they
|
|
accept them so that they can overwrite what's underneath.</p>
