I've not been in exactly that situation, but I have been in similar. It's a bugger isn't it! My tip would be not to focus on the framework and the problem, but the process that highlighted the problem. Rather than trying to sell "this framework sucks - lets go get a better one" I would start pushing things like "We need to do some user testing to make sure that folk can use the software". Once you have buy-in from the developers and management on the necessity for a usable system, you can use things like user-testing to demonstrate the problem. At this point it should be everybody's problem, rather than just yours :-) Cheers, Adrian ________________________________________________________________ *Come to IxDA Interaction08 | Savannah* February 8-10, 2008 in Savannah, GA, USA Register today: http://interaction08.ixda.org/ ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
