Serendipity Forums

Hi everybody,

my name is Ellen from OpenUsability.org, a platform to bring together usability and FLOSS projects. A while ago, Garvin registered Serendipity there, and we searched for a student of usability or ui design to work on Serendipity (see http://www.openusability.org/season/060 ... rendipity)

We found a good student, Prabhath from Sri Lanka, and a week ago Garvin, Prabhath and me had our first IRC meeting to discuss our collaboration. Our goal is to improve the usability of the blog editor and multimedia managment. But first we need to do some user research.. :)

So our first step is a user survey which we are currently setting up and announce soon in this forum. Only then, we'll start to make design mockups which again, we'll present here for feedback by the community.

Looking forward to your comments in the user survey (.. once it is announced ;-) )

hey, sounds great!

Excellent, can't wait for the survey, I'll be sure to add my 2 cents

Wow! I'm impressed to find there are even organizations like this. Thanks for the help!

Wanna see the S9Y usability mentor Ellen talk about Linux/KDE usability? There is a video webcast on the Open Source Yearbook that was recorded on the CeBIT in Hannover, Germany. The talk was initiated by heise and is in German, and there are also people from Novell and Red Hat (wearing a red hat ) on the stage. Quite interesting.
