Getting Design Help and Advice

There are a number of ways that developers and maintainers can make contact with the design team:

• Bugs can be tagged with the ui-review keyword
• Contact the team on #gnome-design on irc.gnome.org

Providing Feedback and Design Ideas

Please read our contribution guide before volunteering feedback or ideas!

• Design issues with GNOME software should be reported in GNOME Bugzilla.

• More general feedback can be provided via module mailing lists.

• General design proposals can be added to /Proposals (for module specific proposals, please check the relevant module wiki page first: many modules provide their own proposals facilities).

• If you want to discuss a particular design issue, you can contact the design team on the #gnome-design IRC channel.
