GNOME Usability Study Report -- "Sun's GNOME usability staff in Menlo Park, California, conducted a baseline usability study of the GNOME desktop during the week of March 13-16, 2001. We recruited a dozen adult participants, each with several years of experience using computers in their work - but specifically not with backgrounds in computer science, software development or programming - to use GNOME 1.2.2 on Linux with Nautilus installed. Our goals were to capture initial reactions to GNOME, a new desktop environment, from the expected user population of business, creative and scientific professionals." (Comments: Cool stuff!!)
