Interview with the KDE and Gnome UI/Usability Developers -- "We are happy to feature an exclusive interview with Waldo Bastian and Aaron J. Seigo from the KDE project and Havoc Pennington from the Gnome project. Waldo and Havoc are developers working on many "under the hood" places of their respective DEs, but they are also "sensitive" at UI and usability issues, so we could also call them "usability engineers". Aaron is the head of usability in the KDE project. All three of them were... brave enough to answer twelve hard questions about interoperability, standards, UI etc. between the two leading Unix DEs." (Comments: Does being sensitive to usability issues make someone a usability engineer? What is a usability engineer?

Usability engineer is a REAL engineering title. It is the one who works on usability of a product, any product.

An engineer wears a striped hat.

Thanks for the Google brouhaha. I'm enjoying alltheweb so far. As a web site owner, I appreciate the copyright reminder. I sincerely wish Google cared as much.
