Ubuntu going from HIG to wyoGuide? Wouldn't that be a *big* step back? Why replace one set of guidelines with another, inferior, set of guidelines?
What HIG do you mean? Mac OSX? KDE? Gnome HIG or anything else? You're not giving any clues why you think it's a step back so what worth is your comment? Your posting as anonymous which either means your a complete newbie or just want to troll without being known. Maybe think first next time before you post.
As long as OSS doesn't conform to a single set of guidelines it won't be ready for anything and it's time to start to discuss which guidelines should be standardized. It might not be the ones stated in the article but this standardisation is essential for the success of OSS.
I wonder if Google hasn't heard of the term "cross-platform" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-platform [wikipedia.org]). I think Google should delve once into this "http://wyoguide.sf.net/papers/Cross-platform.html [sf.net]".
Extra ordinary! Any software vendors should have a look but I'm pessimistic this won't happen soon.
For this kind of work wyoGuide (http://wyoguide.sf.net/) is probably one of the best approaches. It has fully functional sample appliaction, which can easily be extended with your code. Just look once at the tor manager sample (http://wyoguide.sf.net/index.php?page=tormgr.html) which was built in about one week.

This article at LXer.com shows quite nicely where the problems with OSS lies. Read

Is the author of http://wyoguide.sourceforge.net/index.php?page=Cro ss-platform.html a genius if it really will change the way how computers can be bought somewhere in the future?
