[Expressions-development] expressions at OpenUsability

[Andrea S. <an...@an...>]

Hi all,

I've registered expressions with OpenUsability.org (see also the news
item at http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=3D487630).
OpenUsability "brings Open Source Developers and Usability Experts
together" -- guess joining them might give us some more useful input.

The expressions project page there is
http://openusability.org/projects/expressions/; I'll add this link to
the expressions web site some time soon.

I've posted a news item about our questionnaire at OpenUsability
(http://openusability.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=3D461). OpenUsability's
Ellen Reitmayr has promised me to put that news item on their front
page, which hopefully will get us some more participants in the
questionnaire.

Expressions being at OpenUsability also means that if there are people
out there who are interested in Expressions, but aren't programmers,
have a place to contribute (while still being welcome on this list, of
course). So if you know anyone who might be interested, let them know --
and/or sign up yourself (http://openusability.org/account/register.php).
Let me know your username, and I'll add you to the expressions project.


One last thing: OpenUsability has a SourceForge-like system for the
projects hosted there. This means there is some duplication, as
expressions now has news items both on SourceForge (which are copied
over to the web site) and on OpenUsability. I guess that's not much of a
problem, as the news at OpenUsability will "only" be usability-related.
The core news will stay at SourceForge (and on the expressions web
site). Another thing are the forums which also are provided both by
SourceForge and by OpenUsability. I've set up the public OpenUsability
forums ("open discussion" and "help") to post every message to this
mailing list, and I'm monitoring the other forums to make sure nothing
gets lost.


I'll be working on a survey report script today that we can use to view
the survey results -- so expect to hear more from me sometime today or
tomorrow. In the meanwhile, fill in the questionnaire and/or tell
someone you know!

cheers,

Andrea
