Fluid
is an open, collaborative project to improve the user experience of community source software.
Our goal is to help improve the user experience of community source web
applications including Sakai, uPortal, Kuali Student and Moodle. Fluid
combines both design and technology to create a living library of
sharable user interface components that can be reused across projects.
These components are built specifically to support flexibility and
customization while maintaining a high standard of usability,
accessibility, internationalization, and security.
In order to encourage user-centered design within community source software, Fluid is also creating a designer's toolkit that offers useful design, accessibility, and usability strategies and documentation.
Fluid includes members of the Sakai, uPortal, Moodle, and Kuali
Student communities who are working together to address the precarious
values of usability, accessibility, internationalization, and more
within academic software projects.
