Matthias Ettrich talked to us about KDE, freedesktop.org and the need for a unified HIG.
Absolutely. KDE really does need a real HIG (beyond the current loose guidelines). I absolutely agree that it needs to be a "high-level" HIG, because a lot of the pixel-level details should be taken care of automatically by the toolkit. I hope something like this happens, but I'm not optimistic. For an HIG to work, there must be some general concensus by the project that an HIG is a desirable feature. Right now, there seems to be a concensus that "usability is important" but that's a truism, not something on which action can be taken.
