Re: [Openwebgui-general] interested to join

Yeah, I'm down with that. Kieran would be too. And I've got the
support of Dries from the Drupal community as well, so I think we
should start working on a plan and develop real tasks and make this
happen all open-sourcey, like sooner than later.

What kind of results do we hope to get from this? For my own part,
developing a unified admin UI is just one component of my goals (I'm
doing that for Drupal already). I also want to develop a rich and easy
to follow process for open source usability studies & development.
I've got a lot of ideas about this and would like to see how we could
come up with real-world practices that people can use to get usability
into their work *much* sooner.

I would also like to rename heuristic evaluation. The term does
nothing but make usability less accessible. Even though I "get it",
the words always trip me up -- I can't imagine it does much for
marketing our efforts to evangelize usability.
