Android

OK Now that Android's catching the wave, the need is here, more than ever.

I propose we conjure an easy and graphic way for almost anybody, to be able to offer their two cents about the user experience they would like for various software. 

I was looking for a project I wanted to do in open source, and I think I found it!!

Anybody with ideas, or who wishes to help is invited.

So why is the user experience of open source software so bad?

All the good stuff by M$ has been ripped off open source, some of it unabashedly. For starters, take a look at SVG and XUL and then read about XAML. Look at the history of Mozilla and Firefox , then see how IE followed suit.

But when it comes to the UX - somehow nothing looks good. The real mud puddle is the Gimp program.

So instead of just ranting, let's do something about it. Let's define the open source interface.
