Stuff like this is a great jumping in point where anyone can get<br class="gmail_msg">
involved. It's just a matter of trawling through all the dialogs and<br class="gmail_msg">
collating a list of strings which need changing. If that was done then<br class="gmail_msg">
someone with commit rights could fix these in a couple of minutes. The<br class="gmail_msg">

Some more suggestions (which again, anyone could help with identifying):<br class="gmail_msg">
<br class="gmail_msg">
- replacing "non standard" icons. We still have some inconsitently<br class="gmail_msg">
used icons (such as the expression builder icon) used throughout qgis.<br class="gmail_msg">
- dialogs which violate hig conventions:<br class="gmail_msg">
- use of ":" at the end of strings<br class="gmail_msg">
- bad tab order<br class="gmail_msg">
- group boxes with just one widget<br class="gmail_msg">
- bad/inconsistent capitalisation in strings, dialog titles, and tooltips<br class="gmail_msg">
- widgets without tooltips (or non helpful tooltips)<br class="gmail_msg"></blockquote></div><div class="gmail_msg"><br class="gmail_msg"></div><div class="gmail_msg">Maybe I will start by gathering a list of issues to search for, before I start looking into each dialog.

These are also issues for plugins, so collating lists and opening bugs<br class="gmail_msg">
against plugins would also help.<br class="gmail_msg">

Depends how it's done. I don't think it should always open with a<br class="gmail_msg">
template, but including some nice templates with qgis would be a good<br class="gmail_msg">
start.<br class="gmail_msg"></blockquote></div><div class="gmail_msg"><br class="gmail_msg"></div><div class="gmail_msg">We could have a few options when creating a new print composition keeping an "empty" option on the top.</div><div class="gmail_msg">- Empty ()</div><div class="gmail_msg">- A4 landscape</div><div class="gmail_msg">- A4 portrait</div><div class="gmail_msg">- plus list of recent user's templates</div><div class="gmail_msg"><br class="gmail_msg"></div><div class="gmail_quote gmail_msg"><blockquote class="gmail_quote gmail_msg" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

Another idea I'd love to see for 3.0 is switching the main ui to using<br class="gmail_msg">
monochrome "symbolic" icons. I think this could really refresh the<br class="gmail_msg">
interface and avoid the ui from taking attention away for the content<br class="gmail_msg">
(ie, the pretty map you're making). I tried making a script to auto<br class="gmail_msg">
convert the icons as a test.... and ended up with a horrendous result<br class="gmail_msg">
