fyi.  would be good promotion if he uses a kde example in his book.

if someone wants to help putting something together, let me know.

probably a good idea to mention the award you guys won in france when 
putting together a submission.

the whole idea of usability design in the free software world is very 
interesting, he might go for it.

Jakob Nielsen's Alertbox for June 30 is now online at:
   http://www.useit.com/alertbox/20030630.html

Summary:
The easier it is to find places with good information,
the less time users will spend visiting any individual website.
This is one of many conclusions that follow from analyzing how
people optimize their behavior in online information systems.

Examples needed for my next book:

My next book will be about usability methodology. I need examples of
projects that have employed any of the many available usability
 methods to improve the design of a website, intranet, web-based
 application, mobile data access, or any other user interface.

Examples can be big: full-scale corporate sites with many rounds of
 user testing and field studies.
Or they can be small: a single screen that was improved based on a
specific guideline or test result.

It's particularly helpful if you can provide before/after screenshots
(even better: shots of several iterations, each with user testing or
 other usability findings explaining why they were changed). It's
 also nice if there are metrics to estimate the degree of improvement
 in the user experience. But the most important is a good story that
 illustrates a usability method in the context of an interesting
 project.

If you are willing to contribute an example, please contact
Candice Goodwin at Nielsen Norman Group at book@nngroup.com -
just email a short description of the project, the usability method
 used, and any screenshots or other illustrations that are available.
