Hi Everyone, I am looking for a developer to help me finish the UI parser for the Usability Survey Framework. The USF allows designers and developers to create small user feedback studies tailored to their application. A service component allows developers to create services to listen for activity on features within their applications (such as a click on a new button) and launch a survey tailored to collecting feedback about that feature. A survey component allows developers and designers to create custom feedback surveys to collect information from the user after they experience the features being studied in the application. For example, the test case for USF listens for notifications on DBUS and then launches a small survey.
The core libraries and plasma data engine are completed, but the plasmoid interface is not. The interface needs to parse survey questions and display a form for users to complete. It also needs to be customizable to launch at different times: every time the event occurs, only once per some time period, only once per some number of events. Matt Rogers was one of the original developers, and while he doesn't have a lot of free time right now to work on it, he would be happy to get anyone up to speed and help where he can. Jonathan Perichon was our GSoC student last year who hasn't had time to work on it since school has started, but may also give some help. If we can get it done and run a pilot study with the notifications service (the test service for the framework) I would be more than happy to help you design a usability survey for your project to test a new feature you have been working on or some other compensation (books, money, design help on a different application). Designing a USF study would be a great task for a sprint or extending the USF to include more services and features would be a great GSoC project. Please let me know if you can help, even just on a small piece. Besides being what I think could be a really valuable usability tool for KDE developers, my dissertation is depending on it ;) Background information: http://jperichon.com/gsoc-usability-survey-framework/ http://jperichon.com/gsoc-usability-study-status-update/ http://community.kde.org/GSoC/2011/StatusReports#Jonathan_Perichon http://community.kde.org/GSoC/2012/Ideas#Project:_Usability_Survey_Framework Source: git://anongit.kde.org/scratch/perichon/kusabilitysurvey.git -- Celeste Lyn Paul KDE Usability Project KDE e.V.
