How do I start an open source GUI design project? I want to initiate an open-source style project to design an advanced (animated) GUI for a new application. No initial commercial ambitions...just an ambition/curiosity of mine. I would like to start with artists / graphic designers instead of coders because I really want to 'think outside the box' on the interface. (i.e. probably initially break all known GUI / windowing rules most coders know and love). Most sites (like Sourceforge) seem oriented to coders rather than designers. I am not a designer myself, so I do not know where they hang out and where I could recruit some to the project. A sourceforge for designers would be ideal, but I have a feeling it does not exist. Any ideas on sites where I could start would be appreciated! I have beginner - intermediate knowledge on the open source concept itself, so anywhere I could do some more self-education on that would be great too. Thanks in advance!
