Agree, it's right in the FAQ:
> I don't code but this looks awesome! Can I still help?
> Absolutely! There will be art, documentation, testing, UX and UI work, [...].
I read this and immediately think the project sees UX as "I can't write code ell oh ell". You need to treat a UX role the same way you treat a kernel hacker role - it's a specialist whose input you must respect, or be left to deal with the consequences.
- bigstrat2003 3y agoI think you're reading too much into it. Saying "if you aren't a programmer you might be able to help in various ways, including UX" isn't the same as saying "UX doesn't require any particular skills".
- rollcat 3y agoTrue, but this is literally the only mention of the words "UX", "UI" or "design" in the FAQ/docs; meanwhile they write at length about the various technical challenges and choices. This is inconsistent with their own tagline.
