Glad to participate.
Here are some of my thoughts on what needs to be done in addition to Aarons ideas:
organize the "usability reports" and "user testing" categories in some manner. has anyone submitted xml usability reports? the format looks like the bug submission format, and afaik if there is a usability issue, most everyone submits them at bugs.kde.org (perhaps express that somewhere and have a link to bugs.kde.org?). maybe change "user testing" to something else so we can include all reports that have been written and not mislead users that all reports under that heading are "user tests".
under completed work, what about issues discussed and resolved on the mailing lists? I think KHangMan is a good example of everyone working together to resolve usability issues, and when the changes are complete, would be a good candidate to be included on the page.
should the news include only items about usability.kde.org or any items which involve kde and usability, or open source and usability.. etc..
the sections "style guide issues" and "recent discussions" seems a bit out of date. maybe update stylguide issues to the current deliberations with the new hig and move that section as a subsection of the HIG? as for recent discussions, im not really sure how to update it or what to put in it. "completed work" sortof does the job of explaining issues that have been completed either through the mailing list or through usability.org, and the mailing lists do a good job of archiving the discussions. perhaps the section is unnecessary or should be renamed?
define what discussions belong to kde-usability and kde-usability-devel as well as list the dev mailing list
