Usability
Desktop in the Shell

I once wrote a nice rant about the inadequacy of the desktop metaphor.
GNOME pour les non-ordinateuriens

Hello, PiTiVi happenings, Sintel

Hello Planet GNOME (thanks Lucas for adding me)! You may know me from the Specto or PiTiVi projects, or as your worst bugzilla nightmare:
Icon view in the Source List
Feb 8th
Stephen “lostcookie” Griffiths recently started coding on PiTiVi, learning the codebase as he works through the PiTiVi Love list. He has done awesome work on the source list to implement an “icon view” mode and has managed to somehow not become insane while I pointed out all his mistakes and bugs :)

Take a look at this video. Hmm, a nice, refreshing approach to human-computer-interaction.
Single channel waveforms
Jan 25th
Brandon committed a one-liner fix for bug 607614 today. Indeed, until now, if you inserted a 6-channels (5.1) clip into the timeline, you ended up with nonsense like this (as some called it, “corduroy waveforms”):
Move playhead on click, modeless splitting, full-height playhead

I had an idea to make Evolution display more human-readable/stuff-I-care-about-only sender information, but it was scrapped.

Changer l’épaisseur des barres de défilement
Jul 26th
Comme je suis masoschiste et que j’ai maintenant un grand bureau, j’ai décidé depuis de ne plus utiliser de souris (sauf en cas de nécessité) et d’utiliser le stylet de ma tablette graphique (wacom graphire) pour voir si c’est agréable. Ben étonnamment, on s’y habitue. Par contre, y’a toujours le problème qu’un stylet manque un peu de précision quand on doit faire un simple clic sur une petite cible.
