The standards research continues, with many fine finds

from GUI Guidelines

Examples of Developer Reactions to GUIs

"That's a great way to show ..."
"... and what does Cntl-click do?"
"Can I see all eight views at the same time?"
"This will make great screendumps!"
"Can I launch all the other tools from this one?"
"How much of the appearance can I customize?"

Examples of User Reactions to GUIs

"Why is it taking so long?"
"Which part am I supposed to be looking at?"
"Why is it showing me this?"
"What do I do next?"
"How can that help me improve my program?"
"How much work does it take?"

Personally I think GUI guidelines/standards/patterns would make a great wiki.
