Hello all,

I just thought I would give an update with what is going on with the 
KDE Usability Study.

OK first of all...I have been hacking at the site and so far the 
following are working:

 - News system
 - Updates system
 - Links system
 - Question documentation system [partial]
 - Question API [partial]

Basically my plan is to build an API of questions which can be used to 
form questionnaires and studies on a variety of subjects. These 
questions are modelled into an API (with segragated include files).

Once I have got the initial API ready, I will publish it so people can 
send in questions and modify other questions. At the moment the API is 
hard coded and the docs are in the database, but I am considering 
merging them for easier updating.

I have also coded the site so that it is completly easy to move from 
one site to another...this was forward thinking prepering for the day 
usability.kde.org will probobly come up.

Anyway, things are progressing well (even with all this Uni work!), and 
you should see the API dripping by as time progresses. Just keep an eye 
on the updates and news page at 
http://kdeusability.sourceforge.net/index.php.

One other thing: I am wanting to put on the site (1) a statistics 
generator, and (2) a discussion board. Any suggestions for suitable PHP 
based software to do this?

	Jono
