Re: KDE Desktop Usability Survey

Dear Annma,

can you please inform me, why you think so?
As far as I know, the kde-women list is mainly crowded by users of the KDE 
desktop. Thus the subscribers are the perfect target for a usability test as 
the HASE group perfoms. 
Usability is an essential topic for KDE and a fundamental part of usability 
engineering is the performance of (costly) usability surveys with real users. 
It gives important input to the give tips based on _real_ data. Of course 
they also want the input of women too, don't you think so? 
I am very glad that the KDE project finally manages to attract also  
contributors from the usability world.

Greetings,
eva
