User-centric GUI Design Explained to All

Posted by michael on Thursday November 25, 2004 @03:47AM from the bears-repeating dept.

TuringTest writes "The webzine User Instinct carries an article on Usable GUI Design showing that good user interfaces are not beyond the means of free and open software development: 'This article presents five key points of user interface design [...] that any software developer should be able to use.' In related news, The Economist writes against software complexity in an interview to MIT's John Maeda, PhD in interface design. See also OpenUsability, a project for testing user interfaces in a bazaar-like model. The specifics of UI design in Open Source projects has been previously debated on Slashdot."

Having worked on projects with & without UI experts, all I can say to this is BULLSHIT
