Description

@terriko

Sumana Harihareswara has a blog post about usability for command line tools that I think we should probably all read and discuss:

https://www.harihareswara.net/posts/2024/model-ux-research-design-docs-for-command-line-open-source/

(For those of you who don't know Sumana, her work in project management in python-based projects has resulted in significant and major improvements to infrastructure in Python, and she's deeply connected in a lot of communities so she has some really unique insights. I've known her for years socially but even if I didn't I'd say she's a key voice to follow in open source generally and python specifically.)

Of particular interest to us is this article on how pip users think about security:
https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/ux-research-design/research-results/users-and-security/

I haven't read the rest yet but I do intend to do so. This thread is open for discussion about what we can learn from these that might apply to cve-bin-tool.
