Implement new-user-onboarding and new user interface design about projects HOT 3 OPEN

Following discussion today on Keybase and in the thread Why does Bisq need a new GUI? it would be great to see if we can achieve a rough consensus about how to move forward.

My proposal is as follows:

@dukke to be complete Stage One: Coding and onboarding

This will involve:

• Performance test FXML vs Plain Java (there is a certain amount of coding needed as recommend by @ripcurlx prior to changing the design)
• New user onboarding process, see @pedromvpg's designs here: https://xd.adobe.com/view/a83c2327-4730-4ec2-8938-e318b2749588-fd6f/

Rationale

The rationale for getting started is as follows:

• Bisq is in need of a UI Developer with the skills and availability to contribute to Bisq. @dukke is available and has had discussions with @chimp1984, @pedromvpg, and myself.
• @dukke will be in a much better position to estimate costings for the project once they have completed the coding required for on-boarding.
• The on-boarding can be improved to make it more user friendly.
• Even if Bisq decided not to proceed with the planned UI redesign having a UI Dev on board that could work with us to implement changes to the existing UI would be great.

Risks of not doing anything now

The risks of not doing anything now is that @dukke will take on another project and become unavailable. Bisq would still be in need of a UI developer and it might be a while before one is found.

Vote

I am keen to get back to @dukke next week.

Please can people vote on this comment for the proposal: @dukke to complete Stage One: Coding and onboarding.

👍 - Yes, lets start the UI project on stage one then review

👎 - No, lets not start the UI project

Any other comments welcome 😃

Great, looks like it is a unanimous yes to getting started on the first stage. I have contacted @dukke to let him know. He is sending over a contract / NDA to me and then I will arrange for him to set up a discussion with @ripcurlx about the work needed for the first stage.

Just to update I am discussing with @dukke how the process of compensation will work for the project. Hopefully an agreement can be reached soon. I will update when I have more info.
