OpenUsability and KDE: Cooperating on KPDF

Posted by timothy on from the ensmoothening dept.

sultanoslack writes "More from the world of usability in KDE -- there's an interview up where Albert Astals Cid, the KPDF maintainer, and Florian Grässle, a usability engineer from OpenUsability on working together to make KPDF more usable and some of the challenges in working together in a developer / usability engineer team. We've been seeing more from the OpenUsability folks lately, and they'll also be present doing a talk and staffing a booth this week at LinuxTag, Europe's largest Open Source conference." This interview-with-screenshots provides a neat look at the interaction of usability concerns and software development.

    You basically have to read the entire alert to even know what's being asked...

    Pardon me for being dense, but what the fsck is wrong with that? Let me guess, the next Apple interface won't even have text, and dialog messages will consist of pantomime quicktime movies...

    Don't blame me, I didn't vote for either of them!

    "Take your arrogant, ignorant statements and shove them up your ass."

    Can we have a usability study on that?
