Len et al,<br>
Seems to me that designing andcreating OperatingSystem(OS)-specific
GUIs are couinter-productive in terms of longer term goals of
opensource/openaccess projects, particularly those of the Semantic Web,
and particularly of existing, new, and emerging cultural heritage
ontologies.&nbsp; That said, the windowsxp.jpg is sorta cute, and I like the
ethnic country-style theme, but this appears to be more of an XP
desktop countrified desktop icon set than anything else. If what I
interepret this to be is correct, you are supportive of vendor-specific
windows desktop customizations, etc., and that is fine by me, but I
don't understand the tie-in to the HumanML effort beyond recognizing
the potential for smaller local or even regionally-oriented themeatic
GUIs- and that is something that requires a mature HumanML, which we
don't have as yet. <br>

  <pre wrap="">As part of the HumanML effort to explore applications 
of HumanML to use culturally specific ontolologies 
for products as in simple visualization systems for 
complex data, the approach of locale-centric design 
has been proposed.  Locale-centric design sets the 
themes of the GUI to be appropriate to the customer 
region.  Please review the mockup design attached 
for the most common GUI, Windows XP.  Note the domains 
of interest have been adopted into the icons to the 
left while all other semiotic constructs are consistent 
with the culture of the locale.
