Hi everyone,
I've recently become involved in an opportunity to work with a graduate level college class on a semester-long project potentially on a regular basis starting this fall. The class is on information science and the students have skills in UX as well as info processing such as machine learning. The projects have a scope of 15 weeks, and involve 2-3 grad students working roughly 9 hours/week and presenting them at the end of the class
I am putting together a list of potential project abstracts for the professor running the class and thought it might be neat to include an Inkscape potential project idea. I was wondering if there are any specific projects within Inkscape that might be good for this kind of project? I would be willing to serve as the mentor / liaision for the students.
One idea that came to mind was perhaps the students could look into the new alternative glyphs work Tav did (as he mentioned, "The GUI leaves a bit to be desired"), come up with some UI mockups / proposals, maybe do some usability testing on prototypes, and present their recommendations to you guys at the end?
What do you think?
Cheers, ~m
