Hi,
A bit of summarizing on what we've got so far:

+1 for A with a left-aligned title (keep the consistency with the left
alignerd forms)
Pretty much everyone agreed on left-aligned title.
*2. *
All the colors that are used in the proposals are too strong, orange is
too much for a mandatory field. The primary focus should be on the field
title, and the secondary one on the required mark. Either we keep H, or we
use B and add a legend for the asterix. This is the most comune way of
marking mandatory fields, and most of the users are used to it. If they
don't notice the asterix, they will be notified.
There would be another solution, to add a light yellow background color to
the mandatory fields, and of course, add a legend for that color.
+1 for H as it is
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/NewWysiwygEditorInterfaceAppendi…
+1 F, G, H with modifications:
F - * need somewhere to be stated that * means Required
- the location of the star changes the position with the length of the
label
G - from a visual scanning point of view, it's better that they are at
the
beginning of the line and the stars are not changing their position
- but the star should be outside the alignment of the text
- also somewhere needs o be stated the meaning of the star
H - is the most straight forward
- Required should have another color than the explanatory text ("Type
the
address...") so it pops out
I agree with Sergiu that green is not the best color for required
fields.
Also it has low contrast with black and white.
Proposal H got the most vote. I agree with Caty on the fact that make it
colored would pop out more. As long as it's a dark enough color I think it
won't hinder accessibility.
Thus I'm suggesting we use H but with "required" printed in the orange
color
used in proposal G.
WDYT?
3.
There is a big difference between B and C.
+1 for C, because the field title and the help section should not be mixed
with the error message. The user should easily distinguish between
different kind of informations from inside the interface.
Raluca.

+1 C1 because is a separation between the explanatory text and the error
text. Putting it below makes sense for me to have this separation. The
red
color is ok.
I don't like the green of the labels for the mandatory fields. Too many
colors and means nothing for me that the fields are green.
B got 3 votes, A one, C one. B & C are quite similar (text above or below
the error). Having text at the top is better in the tree configuration and
it doesn't make that much of a difference for regular fields.
Thus I suggest we go for B.
We're short on time here, please cast your -1 quickly if you disagree with
this.
Thanks,
Guillaume
