Open source usability is a technical problem we can solve on our own (NewsForge)

NewsForge presents on person's view of usability in open source projects. "As a participant in the KDE project (but expressing my own viewpoint here instead of speaking for KDE), the approach I have seen so far to our usability problems is... noise. Ideas are raised daily on the KDE usability email list, but they never seem to generate anything but endless discussions. Developers, users and reviewers all scream that something needs to be done, but apparently no one knows how."
