Hello,
It's nice to hear about your interest in helping to improve the usability of Inkscape. With your list of ideas, one of the items is a little tough, and that is the prioritization of usability related bugs. Our bugs have always been approached as follows: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Bug_management#Bug_importance . So, almost all usability bugs get prioritized as low. However, we may be able to figure out a separate system for the usability bugs that your group works with where we have specific tagging to allow bending the normal rules. Obviously evaluation and testing is also greatly welcome.
In terms of suggesting specific areas to test, I say there is enough of you to really dig in and explore all over the place. :) As a side question, how long will your project be going on for?
Cheers, Josh

Hello
We are a group of five students from Finland, studying at University of Oulu, Department of Information Processing Science. We are currently working on a project assignment to offer help in usability development for an open source software project of our choice.
Past few weeks we have been familiarizing ourselves with Inkscape and its community and now we would like to offer our work resources for your use.
We have already figured out a few ideas of what we could do for the Inkscape project:
- Heuristic evaluation
- Usability testing
- Prioritization of usability related bugs on the buglist
To produce as useful results as possible, we would like to hear your ideas. How do you feel about the tasks suggested? Is there some specific part of the software we should focus on? Any ideas and feedback at this point would be greatly appreciated.
