Usability Eye for The GIMP Guy

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the ease-of-abuse dept.

TuringTest writes "The GIMP has recently signed up for evaluation by OpenUsability.org. 'Many user interface decisions are being made by developers who often have little experience in user interface design. In order to improve this, we need the help of experts. To find them, GIMP has joined the OpenUsability project. Here's a platform where Open Source developers and usability experts get together.' They also report their first experiences with the paper prototyping of a new Import PDF dialog."
