  [[ui:rules-of-thumb|Rules of Thumb]] lists a few basic UI rules, that
  apply to nearly every piece of software, but are good to keep in mind
  for the file manager.
+ 
+ 
+ ===== Prototype =====
+ Since the user interface is the most critical part of the file manager,
+ we will first develop a prototype to be able to play around with the UI
+ until we find a suitable solution. The prototype is developed in Python
+ using the PyGTK+ bindings, because many people already know Python, and
+ if not, its very easy to learn (atleast the aspects of Python that are
+ required for this prototypes).
+ 
+ The prototype is available from the [[infrastructure:cvs|Thunar CVS
+ repository]], in ''design/ui/''. If you don't have
+ [[infrastructure:cvs#developer_access|Developer access]] to the
+ repository (and don't want to use the CVS web interface), then you
+ can grab a daily snapshot of the ''design/ui/'' module from the
+ [[http://thunar.xfce.org/download/snapshots/daily/|Daily Snapshots
+ Page]], the filename is ''thunar-design-ui-DATE.tar.bz2'', where ''DATE''
+ is the date of the snapshot.
+ 
+ All discussion concerning the prototype should take place on
+ [[http://foo-projects.org/mailman/listinfo/thunar-dev|thunar-dev]]
+ mailinglist.
+ 
  
  ===== File manager =====
  Based on the current research, it looks like the best user interface for a
  file manager seems to be an icon or list view, with an optional tree view
