Hi Andre, >>Would it make sense to invent some kind of marker for usability, whether a >>flag or a key word so that over time these issues were easier to identify?
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/describekeywords.cgi => keyword "usability" > No.. not as long, as we have an agreement, that somebody (from > development) will give those issues a higher priority I hate to say it, but you probably cannot convince single developers, since a developer usually has only limited (though noticable) freedom in what s/he fixes/implements next (Cor was so kind to point to my respective statements over there in DBA). But we can try to argue to convince main contributors to OOo that usability is an issue, and that it should throw resources (read: developers) at it. > So .. all I want to say is, that usability is considered as important. As a side note: The "Product Concept Document" for OpenOffice.org 2.0 [1] states "Usability" as one of the "Key Drivers". > And we all (ok, many of us) take care about usability. But every team > does this in it's own way. To coordinate this efforts would be, what I > named "usability project". Which sounds like a Good Thing To Have (TM) to me.
