OOo – The Future – Part 1.1 Dear list members,
A number of significant changes within businesses (especially during the last few months) driven by the technological developments of the past years, make it imperative to set new priorities for the Ooo-project. These developments put new challenges on the UX team and warrant redefining the role of this team. Recent discussions on the UX mailing list emphasised major misunderstandings in this area. A lot of issues stem from preconceptions deeply rooted in the public conscious making the work in this area particularly difficult. I will therefore try to resolve some of these misunderstandings. For this purpose, I will analyse later on two specific examples: spreadsheets and the HCI/GUI. Because of the complexity of this subject, I am forced to split the mail into several posts. Gaining some theoretical knowledge can be particularly useful. However, because people view theoretical presentations fairly critical, I will provide as many practical examples as feasible. And now, lets start. In order to better emphasize the role of the UX-team, I will provide 2 examples within a brief introductory lecture (5 minutes). This short presentation is one of my favourites and demonstrates common pitfalls in human thinking and problem solving. Although you may wonder initially how these examples link to UX, be reassured, they do! NOTA BENE: I have posted this message to the Calc mailing list, too, because a future mail will touch heavily on spreadsheets. Unfortunately, I do not envisage when I will manage to write the continuation. However, I hope that everybody will enjoy the small lecture that will follow shortly (Part 1.2).
