Hi all 2 years ago i opened and inkscape account on openusability. Nothingimportant happened there until last weeks. A usability student wants to work on inkscape. We have 2 or 3 weeks before she is ready to work on it, and then make proposal and studies during 3 months.
We, me and bryce, already made some proposals to her, but anyone can send me more. It can be usefull one day ;)
Plus, we may need some help to implement UI proposal. With some help at the beginning i guess i could work alone with her at the end, any contributor are welcome.

I! I want to contribute! I have studyied 3 years of Computer Science! And <3 Designing Interactions/Interfaces!
i!? ^_^
is it Internet or I?!
jaja, sorry for the randomness...
eh... I'm male and <3 females... just in case, jaja jeje jiji jojo juju ^_^

Three months is quite a long time with a lot of potential for detailed analysis

Me too. I made a few proposals.

That will certainly make the research more substantive, and allow for a better comparision between current behaviour and testing of suggested new ideas. It was my understanding the projects would be quite abstract, no coding ability is required of the participents.

I contacted the student and offered to help how I could but if she has talked to you already and you are introducing her now she is off to a good start.
coding not necessary?!
"working" at Inkscape is better than "working" at Apple! At least now!

I think perhaps you misunderstand. Coding or not there are many other types of work which can benefit Inkscape.
In this case the student was selected for a usability research project.
Usability can be tested and evaluated in a variety of ways, including written surveys, paper prototypes, mockups using RAD tools, and last but by no means least fully working alternative implementations.
Not all approaches to usability require coding skills and even then a lot of work needs to be done clarifying what problems may exists and how they might best be solved for a given audience. (If you want a techincal drawing tool like Visio or CAD the best answers could be quite different if you want a more artistic drawing program like Adobe Illustrator or Macromedia Freehand.)

Thanks for the info, I have zero usability testing experience besides my own experience (most interfaces need some "hacks").
If Inkscape uses C++ then I will gladly hack it (as in coding) for the Mac OS X... but I will make it legal (buying Apple hardware) and in an elegant way (reading first Stroustrup's C++ "bible").... that can be a part of a ZebSUI package.
Can I asume OpenGL 2.0 for this experimental project or OpenGL 1.5?!

sorry for the typo, it's ZenSUI.
Alan Horkan, do you like to code interfaces? The most basic example is coding XHTML/CSS...
