I'd recommend following <a href="http://planet.gnome.org/" rel="nofollow">Planet GNOME</a> for more on this in a major, influential, end user facing, very widely used FLOSS project.

Yes some of it involves coding, but as you would be more than aware, the coding can't take place without a lot of UX discussion and work prior to implementation. There are many other OSS UX side projects associated with their various core "coding" projects out there, just a matter of looking ofr something which needs work and searching for the right place to start. Gotta run, something about the 1st day of work in 2010 :-) Cheers, Michael Hi Nathanael,
