Applying the Sakai Style Guide to Stellar
We're planning to apply the Sakai Style Guide to the Stellar course management system for Fall 2005. This probably won't be a complete revision, but we'll make the easy changes. Since we aren't devoting our full development resources to Stellar, we'll hold off on changes that would require significant back-end work.
It's a way of making a gradual transition. Stellar has a significant user base, but we're planning to move to Sakai. If they use similar user interface rules, the transition will be easier. The shift to the Sakai Style Guide won't be too radical, but it will take us closer to Sakai, from a user's point of view. We're hoping that Sakai will look less foreign when people see it for the first time. So if we can get Sakai to use the style guide we'll be in good shape!
