@MR Members - Here's list of the papers published by one of the lead researchers, Mikko Rajanen ==>> http://oulu.academia.edu/MikkoRajanen

@UKKOSS Team - It would probably be helpful to many of us if you could provide, brief summaries in simple prose targeted at lay persons - who may not be fluent in English, and whose formal education may not have progressed beyond Junior High - of:-

your methodologies, e.g. where you recruit your 'users', how you measure usability, what weight you place on the software providing features such as:-
- more than one way to accomplish a task,
- usable on wide variety of 'platforms',
- integration with a wide variety of 3rd party technologies much of which comes from the 'walled garden' side of the street rather than the 'open source' side.
- extensible by non core developers - plug-ins, templates, recipes, breadboards etc
- documentation - technical and user guide.
b) your previous projects - ie what sort of software - phone apps, line of business, personal productivity, vocation specific, recreational etc. Along with any vendor testimonials.
