Re: [Banshee-List] Should I make the usability test?

[Bertrand Lorentz <bertrand lorentz gmail com>]

Hi Jonas !

Thanks a lot for doing this usability test and writing up the results.
I think there are interesting findings and suggestions in there, and
they can probably be logged as bug reports if they don't already
exists.

If you're OK with that, I'd also like to post the document on our wiki
(or you can post it yourself :)) :
http://live.gnome.org/Banshee/UsabilityReport

If you ever cross paths with your compatriot David Nielsen, he is
hereby instructed to buy you a beer on my behalf ! ;)

Cheers,
