[Freedombox-discuss] Back to the future: Text Based UI?

[Dave Crossland]

Hi,

http://blogs.gnome.org/seth/2010/02/24/lil-nugget-from-hackfest/

Maybe the v1 UI ought to drop visual design since one will distract
from the experience design at this stage.

A sshd alongside httpsd serving
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web-based_SSH exists today -
http://www-personal.umich.edu/~mressl/webshell/index.html - and such
can quickly be made to look like
http://www.flickr.com/photos/timpatterson/3045994303/ so that users
used to a one button mouse experience can do all that needs to be done
for now, and for a little while after that.

I wonder if OpenMoko had tried to copy the Nokia 3210 instead of the
iPhone, it might have gone somewhere else...

Cheers
Dave
