Greetings to All!

Your review / feedback is much awaited on the proposals in this blueprint.

Just wanted to let you know that we are planning to start implementing design #3 later next week in case there isn't any further advice from you.

Appreciate your time here...

Many thanks!
Raghu

Subject: [openstack-dev] [Horizon] [UX] Blueprint review request: Suggest Ways to Add Contextual Help to Horizon

Hi All,

Greetings!

I tried to compile and add 3 more design thoughts to Liz Blanchard's existing proposal addressing the blueprint Suggest Ways to Add Contextual Help to Horizon<https://blueprints.launchpad.net/openstack-ux/+spec/contextual-help-horizon>. One goal of this effort is to arrive at a common interaction solution to provide contextual help for all types of input elements (input box, drop list, checkbox, etc.).

Request, please review the proposals, and let us know your valuable feedback that will help us decide one among them. Precisely (in Liz's words), we would like to seek your opinion on - "whether or not it is very important for the help text to always be showing". This will help us determine which design approach to take further - designs 1&2 or design 3 where the user doesn't see the help text until he gets near the input field.

You may access the design docs (prototype, write-up) on the blueprint launchpad, or download them here:
Prototype: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ei56d8ffggs1h51/ContextualHelpInHorizon_Proposal_v1.zip (Please unzip and open "start.html" / "index.html" in your browser to run the interactive prototype. Do let me know if you face any issues here)
Doc: https://www.dropbox.com/s/fzitkei90i31kti/Ways%20to%20Add%20Contextual%20Help%20to%20Horizon.pdf

Thanks very much for your time!

Best Regards,
Raghu
