From my perspective we do not have the ressources yet to run
or buy usability tests.

Other goals have a higher priority:

	- There are Free software areas were no applications
	exist at all. These gaps are hurting.

	- Free Software is getting popular, we really have a hard
	time to keep up with explaining it (to politician e.g.).

	- There are great dangers to the current Free Software
	developments which have to be fought on a political playground.
