Current projects experts :

The user testing expert see to it that whatever needs to be tested gets tested and that the tests are carried out well. The expert doesn't have to personally take part in tests -- as we have volunteers all over the world, that would sometimes be impossible -- but they have to make sure that the tests get done and are sufficiently accurate to be useful.

The visual design expert oversee all visual design related work. That means making sure that all graphical elements that are needed get made and follow a certain style. It also means creating visual design and branding guidelines and style guides when they're needed.

The UX expert care for the general UX of LibreOffice. That means bringing attention to important UX bugs, watching over their progress, and cooperating with the user testing expert, the visual design expert, and developers based on what each bug requires. It also involves refining the design process, from the bug report stage all the way to implementation.

Project experts are designed when required for large projects. They take care of the whiteboards and of the project. They should also be responsible for crafting the tentative design.

In general :
 * experts are voted for 6 months,
 * if for some position, nobody applies, then the design team self-organizes (for the best and the worse as usual)
 * experts give an orientation to the work of the design team, organize the debate without censorship,
 * if a particular point yields a lot of conflicting opinions, the final say goes to a vote after all rationnal arguments have been synthetized by the expert.

What We've Accomplished
Please add links to the documentation of things we have done within the UX team. We will need this e.g. for presenting our stuff on the LibreOffice conference.
