Summer 2008 Season Of Usability Results

Our Season of Usability project for this Summer has finally come to a close, and we couldn't be happier with the results! Jakob Hilden worked with the Gallery team and Katrin Goetzer from OpenUsability to work on improving the image upload tools of Gallery. He did a comparative analysis, created mockups for a new image upload tool, and documented his entire project in our documentation site. At our annual developer meet-up, Jakob joined with us discussing the future of the project, and has decided to stick around and help us out with whatever comes next. (More on this in a future story!) This fall, he is mentoring two usability projects related to Gallery at a design course at the University of Michigan's School of Information.
