Subject: SAP Design Guild now completely open for everybody - without any charge

The SAP Design Guild (http://www.sapdesignguild.org) is a website where the accumulated design and process knowledge of SAP is published. It is intended to serve as a design resource and a stage where UI people and UI developers can exchange information and opinions on visual and user interface design issues.
The website comprises five sections:
Philosophy: Learn about the vision behind SAP and how we are redefining stat-of-the-art software design and usability.
Construction: SAP's design resources - cookbooks, techniques for designing software around the SAP brand.
Innovation: The future of user interface design and graphic design. We offer 2 - 3 times a year a new edition with articles on hot UI topics. In the current edition featuring the topic "Portals - The Information, Functionality and Services I Need at My Fingertips" experts discuss enterprise portals - their role, design and ingredients: http://www.sapdesignguild.org/index.asp?b=innovation/innovation_content.html &t=innovation/innovation_topnav.asp
Opinion: Articles on design issues and from personal points of view (published every three weeks).
Forum: An open discussion board.
The aim of this website is to centralize design expertise and to make it available to everyone. SAP has set the ball rolling by publishing its own knowledge and experience and cordially invites you to share your ideas.
From now on, we offer all of the SAP Design Guild's content free of charge. We hope that this move will make the SAP Design Guild more accessible to visitors interested in the design field.
