Most of open source software is in the maintenance phase and does not
have the luxury of a full redesign from the
I wonder if it would be possible to get interaction designers involved
*before* the application has been written.
To cite Alan Cooper:
"Many people have the mistaken assumption that what interaction
designers do, and what needs to be done, is user-interface design.
Interface design is certainly p
I'm glad that everyone so far seems to think that this is a good idea.
There are a lot of details that would need to be worked out. We'll need
to get maintainers and devs involved in figuring that out.

Interesting idea, it introduces the idea of accountability which I think
is lacking in many ways right now with Gnome Usability. But then the

It may be best if there were two uxperts assigned to each proj
I like the idea of one person in each sub-project having a special
responsibility for UI issues. That would allow that person to develop
a keener insight into UI issues, to spot UI problems and solutions for
the project, to know the HIG better, and to develop special
relationships with other UI fol

Hi all,
A few of us GNOMErs attended a UDS meeting yesterday with the title

a designated usability/design person. This User Experience Advocate (the
