Dear all, I am really interested in this group.
Here at Brazilian Development Bank we're still using version 1.6 and we really need to discuss usability and accessibility. Tim, could you please include me? Thanks in advance.

As discussed at OR16, I think the best way to move this effort forward would be to establish a User Experience (UX) Interest Group or Working Group. The difference between the two is that a Working Group signs up to achieve a specific goal (and therefore is often time limited), while an Interest Group is ongoing (and is more about discussing ongoing topics of interest). In the case of a UX group, I suspect it'd be nice to achieve a few specific tasks, namely beginning to "mock up" the user experience for the new UI initiative. That way we can ensure that, as the new UI is built, it is achieving the desired user experience. This may mean it'd make sense to establish as a Working Group with definitive tasks assigned to it (at least initially). Though, it'd also be possible to start with a more general Interest Group, and create a (sub) Working Group tasked directly with creating such UI mock ups, etc. All we'd really need to get started is the following: * One or two people interested in chairing/organizing such a group. These chair(s) would organize meetings, ensure the notes/output are publicly documented / reported back, and generally be the main contact for the group (though they should feel free to delegate heavily to others in the group to achieve any of these tasks). * A rough draft of the perceived goals of the group (i.e. the "charge"). I'd be glad to provide feedback / ideas as necessary. After that, we'd just need approval from the DSpace Steering Group (which I will gladly help the group achieve). Then the group can begin to put out a call for more members, and start scheduling meetings, create a wiki page to store notes, etc. As examples, here's where we've documented a few other Interest Groups / Working Groups: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/DSpace+Interest+Groups https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/DSpace+Working+Groups I honestly love this idea, and I hope others would have an interest in helping us to establish the first DSpace UX Interest Group. It'd be a great way to ensure that, as we build the new UI for DSpace 7, we are meeting the expectations and needs of repository managers (and general users) worldwide. Definitely let me know if there's any other way I can help. If there are others on this list interested in joining such a group (or chairing/co-chairing), I'd encourage you to respond (either on or off list).
