KDE Human Computer Interaction Working Group Formed
===================================================

   In order to facilitate current inter- and extra- community
communication and innovation there is need for a Human Computer
Interaction working group (short name "HCI working group") within KDE
made up of core accessibility, usability, internationalization and
artist community members. This group will act not only to strengthen and
improve current processes but also as a catalyst for new ideas. 
Following the Technical Working Group [http://dot.kde.org/1139614608/]
and Marketing Working Group [http://dot.kde.org/1131467649/] this is the
third group from KDE e.V.
[http://ev.kde.org/meetings/2005-working-groups-discussion.php].

     Key members, based upon motivation and effort not name and
popularity, from the different KDE communities involved, have stepped
forward to initiate this effort.

     The working group is comprised of e.V. members. At this time the
current members are Celeste Lyn Paul, Nuno Pinheiro, Ellen Reitmayer,
Olaf Schmidt,  Kenneth Wimer, Thomas Zander.

     Much of what our working group intends to accomplish is reliant
upon communication and coordination with the other working groups being
formed as well as the overall KDE community.

     In one sentence this working group's goal is to create a more
compelling, usable, understandable interface for all people.  This is,
we believe, one of the major goals of KDE.
