Groklaw Tries Their Own Linux Usability Study

Posted by michael on from the many-have-tried-few-succeeded dept.

inode_buddha writes "There's a new project taking shape at Groklaw. Calling it Grok-docs, it aims to do what many of us have long whined about - a large-scale linux usability study. Evidently, PJ had some frustrations with linux, and is asking for suggestions. So far, it seems to be following a Wiki-style setup. Everybody is welcome, especially those with little or no linux experience. I hope the distros and vendors are watching this one!"

    Groklaw isn't biased at all. I hope they publish their affiliation on the study.

    I rarely criticize things I don't care about.

    yep. That's just where I want to go for legal reporting - from a paralegal with a website that sells insurance on the side.

    The license is Creative Commons by-nc, the same one that PJ uses for Groklaw. PJ is happy to profit from other peoples' GPLd work, but refuses to use the GNU Free Documentation License to let anyone profit from hers. Just so we're all clear.
