What we intend to do in the coming months and possibly years is to learn<br>
from the mistakes made in the last 60 years of computing. Mistakes which<br>
have over time become norms.<br>
<br>
To begin with we're intending to do some human computer interaction<br>
(HCI) research, this will require some, what may seem irrelevant<br>
testing. For instance a bunch of white squares on a black background<br>
that have certain behaviours.<br>
<br>
I hope to invite many of you to help with the initial round of testing,<br>
which will be done via a web browser. We're specifically looking for<br>
computer users who aren't familiar with Linux desktops, so the newer<br>
users amongst you are very helpful to us.</blockquote></div><br><br>I would be interested in this too as since I have installed Gnome-Do (<a href="https://launchpad.net/do">https://launchpad.net/do</a>) I think my desktop interaction habits will change. Instead of hunting in and clicking through menus to get to the application/file I want I will just type it into a box and it will load/open.<br>
<br>Colin<br>I hope this is the correct thread for this discussion. I have been busy the last few days and have lots of catching up to do. Also slightly disappointed about the recent email storm.<br><br>
