I've subscribed to the UX mailing list and added the page http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/User_Perception_Research to the "User Experience" category. Still iIt seems to me UX project is oriented to user interface issues, but my research project is aimed to social aspects (I don't know yet which ones exactly). Speaking about user interface I can cite one of my interviewees. He said there are two groups of users. The users of the first group started their IT-experience from MS-products and now they know that MS-interface is the right interface (e.g., File > Page Format). Transferring of the first group to the open-source IT solutions conducted with assuming new habits. The second group consists of people who hasn't MS-experience. They haven't problems with OOo, Linux, etc. (This is just a hypothesis.) To sum up, if we want to pull over users from MS Office to OOo (one of the goals of my project) operating by user interface we have to make OOo similar to MSO as much as possible. But this is not right, I suppose. We have to find additional pry, and I hope to find it among social aspects. That's why I chose the Marketing project as primary place for the research. > Hi Alexander, > Alexander Matrunich wrote: >> >> Hello! >> >> I want to join the marketing project and would like to introduce >> myself.
