BasKet Note Pads Usability Survey
=================================

   Users of BasKet Note Pads [http://basket.kde.org/], an advanced
notepad application for the KDE desktop, are called to participate in a
usability survey. The survey is carried out by the recently launched
BasKet Usability Project [http://basket.openusability.org/], a sponsored
student project in the "Season of Usability" of OpenUsability.org
[http://openusability.org/].

     About the BasKet Usability Project

     The aim of the BasKet Usability Project is to improve the usability
of the BasKet Note Pads tool. Usability, as I (the project maintainer)
see it, not only depends on the user interface, but also on the
underlying assumptions that are made about the users and their context
of use. So, knowledge of users, their contexts and claims are of vital
importance for improving usability.

     Also, the aim of the project is to also involve the users into the
development of BasKet. Besides the survey, in a few weeks users will be
able to be co-authors of "scenarios" and "personas", stories about
fictional users and their usage scenarios (both present and future).
