Looks good, Simon.  Glad somebody did some updating and polishing.

I put the CVS of the site up at
http://kde-usability.eeric.dnsalias.net
if anyone wants to have a look.  I'll try to keep up to date with CVS.

I especially like your FAQ - that's very clear.

A couple thoughts:

The news is still way out of date, which gives the impression that the
site's not active.  You might consider adding a blurb about your update to
the site, dated July something.

The motto might be punchier if it read:
"Making KDE more comfortable to use"

I'm still a proponent of steering people away from making wishlist type
request to the usability list by giving a guide to usability analysis,
reports, and suggestions.

Is the TWiki still active?  A link to it might be useful.

Do you plan for there be a place to upload images and prototypes?  If not,
perhaps I'll see if I can find time to work on one (no guarantees, of
course).

Thanks again for getting on that one.

Cheers,

Eric

Hi all,

I just cleaned out the KDE Usability website CVS, and commited the all new
and
improved version of the site that I've been putting together/polishing.
Summary:

* General re-org and clean up.
* Added my kicker changes report thingy.
* Added the "First Steps" study.
* Added books section (+ 2 books ;-) )
* Added FAQ section (1 FAQ so far, "KDE Should Act Like XYZ" is looking like
a
good candidate for FAQ #2).

If you want to see it working you can grab the CVS and stick it on an apache
virtual host by itself along with PHP enabled, and it should work ok.

TODO:
* Add Jason Bainbridge's talk abstract for Linux.conf.au
* The project FAQ is way out of date. It should also give real advice to new
comers on how best to contribute to the project and also advice to other KDE
developers on how best to take advantage of what the project can do for them
and thier work.
* A KDE Usability TODO list might be a good addition too. A lot is discussed
on the list, but still needs to be implemented.

I want to spend some more time on the new-ish site and then set it live.

Feedback welcome etc.
