How to contribute

Please expend.

Mission

Develop a comprehensive solution that makes bugs reporting, applications rating and developer donations easier on end-users and puts user experience capturing (feedback) in more appropriate locations and contexts.

MeeGo User Experience Framework: Capturing, enhancing and leveraging the MeeGo device user experience.

Area

The main areas within the scope of the working group are (in no particular order):

  • Bug reporting : Provide end-users with a device-based wizard that walks them through the process, and also automate log file submission. Discussion with the Quality Assurance working group will be necessary.
  • Feedback / Rating : Provide end-users with an operating system and applications integrated solution.
  • Developer donation : Educate end-users on the vital role played by developers in creating an ecosystem and provide them an easy and trusted way to make donations. Discussion with the Community working group will be necessary on certain points.
  • Gaming achievement : Create a proper achievement system.
  • Infrastructure : Add/use necessary “hooks” (APIs, metadata)to the current infrastructures (Ovi Store / Intel App Store).

Rationale

Currently, bug reporting is difficult for end-users, testing is too ad hoc (specific) and ratings systems are not fully utilized. Support for donation-ware and gaming achievements is totally missing.

Materials

  • Presentation (Draft)
  • As a starting point, ABRT 1.0 is an implemented (Fedora 12) and tested tool to help end-users with bug reporting.
  • Monetary donations to an open source software platform (Research Policy Volume 38, Issue 2, March 2009, Pages 404-414) [1]
