Hi Andreas & Heiko,

thank you for your input and the links to get me started! I will familiarize 
myself with the resources you’ve provided and I’ll try to make it to one of the 
next design meetings to follow up on this. 

@Heiko: I’ve greatly enjoyed your article about usability semiotics for the 
development of icon metaphors and have used it in my teaching in the past, nice 
to meet you :)

Cheers,
Christoph

Hello Christoph,

sure that would be nice. As a starting point to figure out what to do in 
detail, you and your students may check the previous studies at User Prompt 
(Andreas refers to only one publication) and later on at the LibO design blog. 
Two more surveys are conducted and the publication is in preparation.

http://user-prompt.com/portfolio/libreoffice/
https://design.blog.documentfoundation.org/

All of these studies are open source and CC licenced. As psychologist with 
statistical background I usually analyze with R. The scripts are available.

We have a weekly design/UX meeting where everybody is welcome. Guess not 
tomorrow, however ;-).

Cheers,
Heiko

Hi Christoph,

this would be really great. I'm not that involved in the usability stuff
but I do/did the breeze icon theme and I live in Vienna too.

In the past I don't get that much feedback about the icon semantic there
was a Usability Test from 2014 (
http://user-prompt.com/de/intermediate-results-of-the-icon-tests-breeze/)
about the semantic and there the feedback was that some icons need some
redesign. As breeze is used on Mac and Linux I would be very happy to get
some feedback.

cheers
Andreas

[libreoffice-design] Proposal: Usability testing LibreOffice in a university course

2016-03-24 Thread Christoph Wimmer 
Hello everyone,

I am a member of DECO research group at Vienna University of Technology 
(http://deco.inso.tuwien.ac.at) and we are teaching a course on usability 
engineering with around 60 students this summer term. For a lab assignment, the 
students will both plan and conduct usability tests for existing applications. 
We would like to let our students evaluate the current version of LibreOffice 
and were wondering if you would be interested in the results or maybe even 
closer collaboration.
We believe this could be beneficial to everyone involved: The LibreOffice UX 
team could benefit from the results of the usability tests and our students 
would know that their work serves a real purpose by having a positive impact on 
a project with millions of users. 

Please let us know how you feel about this and how we could coordinate. For 
example, it would be great if you could let us know if there are any specific 
parts of LibreOffice that you think would benefit the most from usability 
testing.

Thank you and best regards,
Christoph Wimmer
