During my brief bit of usability testing with software centres another
problem reared it's ugly head. Some of the entries in the apps menu are
remarkable for their meaninglessness and could do with changing. As an
example:
Menu > Office > Gnumeric with the tooltip - 'Calculation, Analysis,
and Visualisation of Information".
My three users have never really used a spreadsheet and this meant
nothing to them. Thier suggestion was to change the menu entry to
'Gnumeric Spreadsheet' or some thing similar, as long as sit contained
the word 'spreadsheet.
Abiword was recognised as a word-processor, but only because it had
'word' in it's name.
They also struggled to find a PDF viewer. Evince is labelled 'Document
Viewer' with the tool tip saying 'View multi-page documents'. No
mention of PDF.
I'll be going through the menu later in the week with a couple of them
to see if they can come up with some more obvious entries. I'll then
raise a bug for this.
