I STRONGLY suggest that you make a sincere and very comprehensive effort to touch base with the people working on the upstream desktop usability level. I honestly do not see how a fedora centric project is going to work inside the framework of the decisions which are being made upstream inside the desktop projects. Striking out on your own to "fix" usability inside fedora without understanding how the desktop usability decisions impact the fedora experience, is going to do very little but become an ultimately frustrating and fruitless waste of time for you.. unless there is very clearly defined relationship between what the fedora centric group is doing to support the usability vision of the upstream desktop projects and how the fedora centric work is moved upstream. There are very few "right" answers in usability in the limit of a large population. You need to make damn sure that your vision for Fedora usability works inside the upstream vision for the desktop project you are looking to impact. The very very last thing you want to do is have Fedora specific usability changes to be stuck as fedora specific patches. Tie you mission statement to specific "deliverables" that the desktop projects are looking for help with upstream. -jef"all this talk about "Fedora human users" is sooooo egotistically human.
