Ingimp's tools may improve FOSS usability (Linux.com)

[Posted July 27, 2007 by ris]

Bruce Byfield takes a look at ingimp. "Since May, ingimp, a modified version of the GIMP, has collected daily logs on what users do with the program in the hope of improving its usability. The richness of this data is unprecedented, yet improving the GIMP is only a sideshow for the project. What ingimp is really designed to do, according to the project's leader, is develop the software and practices to put free and open source software (FOSS) usability testing on a professional footing "without placing an undue burden on either the developers or users.""
