[kde-community] HIG compliance testing via Google Code-in

[Thomas Pfeiffer]

Hey everyone,
as you know from Lydia's recent mail on this list, we need some more Google 
Code-in tasks.
So far we had two tasks for testing KDE applications for compliance with the 
KDE Human Interface Guidelines 
(http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/Usability/HIG). Both tasks have been 
completed very successfully, yielding a detailed spreadsheet of violations for 
each HIG area with basically zero effort from our side. Therefore I'd like to 
post and mentor more of these tasks. However I don't want students to create 
lists of problems with no chance of them ever being fixed, so I won't post any 
compliance test tasks without buy-in from the respective application's 
developers.
So, who would like to have their application HIG-compliance-tested? Just reply 
here and I'll set a task up. It will help you identify potential usability 
problems in your applications without any effort from your side except for the 
commitment to look at the lists and see if you can fix the issues there after 
task completion.
Cheers,
Thomas
