GNOME usability test report now available

[Calum Benson <calum benson sun com>]

The full report from Sun's first GNOME usability study is now available
online:
http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/ut1_report/report_main.html

The study was devised by members of the Solaris HCI Group (Suzanna
Smith, Andrea Mankoski, Dave Engen, Nancy Frishberg, and Nils Pedersen--
and I guess I'm an honorary member too), and carried out in our
usability labs in Menlo Park, CA earlier this year.

Some of you might remember I presented the preliminary results at
GUADEC2... well, the full report expands on those, and provides detailed
suggestions on ways in which we might improve the user experience for
new and experienced GNOME users alike.

We're keen to hear your feedback on the report and the recommendations,
and discuss other ideas and how best to put them into practice.  You can
usually find at least one of us in #usability on GIMPNet, and we're
always happy to discuss things on the appropriate mailing lists too. 
You can also email Sun's GNOME HCI team directly at
<Sun-GNOME-HCI sun com>.

Look forward to hearing from you!

Cheeri,
Calum.
