Welcome to the new home of the Apache OpenOffice user experience community. This page replaces the previous OpenOffice user experience main page.

Visit the archived OpenOffice.org User Experience page to access archived UX content.


The AOO User Experience Community

The goal of the AOO user experience effort is to ensure that our software resonates with our users, and allows them to realize their goals and accomplish their tasks, in a way that compliments their context of use, in their world. We want to make Apache OpenOffice the best open source office suite in terms of usability, productivity and enjoyment.

The AOO user experience community seeks to provide guidance to the product management, and development community to ensure that AOO offers the best user experience possible.

Our duties include gathering user feedback, distilling feedback into prioritized design opportunities for improvement, and then advocating usability within the design process.

Our work products include user roles/personas, usage scenarios, wireframes, design mock-ups, design evaluations, and user testing.

How to Get Involved?

User experience is an umbrella term that encompasses information architecture, usability engineering, user interface design, interaction design, and visual design, as components of the holistic user experience. The Apache OpenOffice user experience community is currently looking for creative, passionate people to join the effort. You don’t have to be a Java guru (or even know what that means!) to get involved. You just have to love software. Join our user experience community and contribute to the conversation.
