Thanks for the offer - that would be wonderful. It's a lot of work for
one person if we do it right, so I would encourage you to look for
others to help (and I would also encourage others to help).

I would like to suggest a change in approach this time - to back up the
conclusions that you make, point to relevant articles, and try to make
concrete suggestions about how to address the concerns. Developers like
to (1) know what you want them to do and (2) why. Breaking things down
into digestable action-oriented tidbits will make it easier for our
efforts to generate results later.

In other words, the more work we do, the more likely we'll have an
influence on 2.18 (for comparison, and an idea of what I'd like to see
us do, look at the openusability reports - making concrete suggestions,
backed up by real examples of people who had trouble). In fact, it might
not be a good idea to interract with the usability people (Calum, Anna,
...) to get their opinion on suggestions.

Cheers,
Dave.
