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 C++ 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. Your research, writing, drawing, sketching, and designing skills will be greatly appreciated.
- AOO User Experience Community Members - Passionate about design great user experiences? So are we. Join us!
- AOO User Experience Help Wanted - Looking to sink your teeth into a juicy research, design or evaluation task, check out our activity list.
Current Activities
The Apache OpenOffice User Experience community is currently working on the following user research activities. We want the OpenOffice design direction to reflect what people need and desire. To make informed design and development decisions, we need to understand who is our user, what is important to them, and how they integrate OpenOffice into their daily lives. Please join us!
- Who the? What the? - Who uses Apache OpenOffice? What do they want to do? This activity seeks to understand the AOO users, and identify what is important to them.
- Storytellers Wanted - How does OpenOffice help our users accomplish their tasks, and achieve your goals? This activity seeks to capture stories that share how people apply OpenOffice in their daily lives.
- PROPOSAL - UX Wish List - What features do we want from AAO in the next versions?
OpenOffice.org UX Archives
The Apache OpenOffice User Experience community appreciates the efforts of the previous UX communities that have resulted in the great product we have today. We are fortunate to have inherited a library of great UX research, UI design and user evaluation work products. As part of the transition from Oracle to Apache, some UX content, and supporting links, are invalid or out-of-date. Other content is extremely valuable and will be integrated into the Apache OpenOffice UX effort moving forward. To ensure that the previous material is still accessible, we have archived the former UX wiki home page.
