An interesting article on NewsForge, "Open source usability is a technical problem we can solve on our own," talks about the problem of usability in Open Source Software (OSS). The thesis is that the OSS community continues to view the field of usabilty as some kind of mysterious voodoo magic that can only be unravelled by "others" outside the OSS community, when they should be looking at it as just another problem that can be solved in the same way they solve all other technical problems.
