  • Usability involvement in F/OSS projects (TOSSAD project): This report tries answer the question “How can we achieve more usability within geographically distributed projects?”. We'll first define the basic characteristics of a F/OSS project and investigate the problems encountered that slow down the usability process and F/OSS development. In the following chapter, we analyse the F/OSS developers, i.e. why their interest in usability is not inline with their interest in feature adding for a software project. Then, we give advice and recommendations on how to attract and convince usability experts to participate in  F/OSS projects.
