[Kde-pim] Usability testing

[Björn Balazs]

Hi Martin,

sorry for being late on this :)

It would be best if you keep us (kde-pim at kde.org and kde-usability at kde.org) 
informed about your what you plan to do and the results you achieved. We can 
offer help, support and inspiration for your project, if you communicate early 
enough with us. Also we might be able to direct you into directions that are 
more valuable for the project.

Other than that, passing your course should be your main priority - anything 
good for KDE PIM is an extra.

Cheers,
Björn
