A user experience professional at your service

[Fania Joeck]

Hi Thomas,
 
Thanks for your message and your offer for help in the UI Design field. I think
Plasma Active and also Contour offers a huge field to try out new things in the
UI and create a real touching experience:)
 
I am sharing my thoughts about the UID of Contour regularly in this mailinglist
as well and feedback is very welcome. Maybe we can arrange a timeslot next
monday afternoon in IRC, where we can discuss a bit what parts of the UI could
be of interest for you?
 
Usability testing is a very important aspect in this project, in my point of
view, as the usage and interaction is different from known devices, so help is
needed here in any case :)
 
So, welcome and great to have you on board,
Fania
