Re: I wish OpenUsability all the best...

Your wonderful 5 pass procedure doesn't explain why kmail became so difficult to use in version 1.8.
Pick up two new (but experienced) users and give one kmail 1.7, kmail 1.8 to the other. Measure how much time they spend to associate a mailing list, account end expire settings (common task) to a folder.
Where is the proof that "- In the new version, the same actions took M seconds (where N < M)"?

Your mistake is false generalization (about usability) and not being specific enough about your problems with kmail. The pim-devel list is the most suitable place for that.

    Why, isn't it an usability problem? What happens if someone asks the usability team an opinion about a program and its usability?
    I still trust usability team, but sometimes things don't go as they should.
