[Fedora-marketing-list] Fedora usability : a new project?

2006-08-06 Thread Damien Durand
Hello everyone,  Fedora usability was born but it's not official yet;-) : http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DamienDurand/UsabilityWhat's fedora Usability?
The Fedora Usability project aims to provide coherence, accessibility and intuivity for all people using Fedora Core and its associated resources. Fedora must be easy and making things simple and coherent for a pleasant use is my objectif with this project.
I need feedback, if you're interested to contribute feel free to add your name in the usability group : http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DamienDurand/Usability/UsabilityGroup
Once this project completed and approved by you, I'll move the wiki pages and will send an official announce ;-)Thanks in advanceDamien Durand

Re: [Fedora-marketing-list] Fedora usability : a new project?

2006-08-06 Thread Steven James Drinnan
Good on you Damien. I am all for a project that can give users a method
of suggesting improvements that can be filtered and then sent on to he
necessary teams for implementation. The development teams should not be
hassled by a lot request changes. In saying this if there is already a
method that I am not aware of then the existing process should be used
or if necessary modified so that good customer feed back is achieved. 

My experience with linux is limited but I do know the importance of good
usability of a computer program - if people can not intuitively figure
out how do something then that is a problem - 1 area is networking
-though a  lot of improvements have been made there is still a lot of
bugs - (eg on my laptop sometimes the eth0 and eth1 (wired and wirless)
get transposed or network manager decides to create a new ethernet
device- there are a few other issues but not the time here.

We are humans after all not dolphins. We all think in a particular way.
And need to make operations more smother. One good example is Add remove
programs and Software Updater

We have a great product. That needs promoting and user feed back. 

There are few ideas i have but i would like to stress, lets not reinvent
the wheel, if there is a system in place lets use it to its full
potential.

Anyway just my 2 cents worth
