[TYPO3-hci] closing down a usability project

[Lene Nielsen]

In August Rikke Ørngreen and I started a usability project and invited 
team members from the hci mailinglist to participate. A handful of 
people volunteered to begin a process of understanding who the end-users 
were. Our aim was to be able to generate enough data to be able to 
jointly create user descriptions or personas.
Recently Rikke and I met with Kasper and we discussed the work done in 
the group until now. (You can see the work on www.hci-cbs.dk/moodle if 
you log in as guests). The group has contributed with data and we find 
that there is valuable information on the Moodle site, only too little 
of it. We know that you are all very busy which makes the data gathering 
approach we until now have followed difficult.
This made us decide upon a new approach. We have decided to close the 
moodle site and instead a student of ours has volunteered to do 
usability tests of the forthcoming prototype of ver. 4.5. From the work 
on the Moodle site it will be possible to extract tasks and create test 
scenarios for users to perform in the test. We hope to be able to 
perform the same test in US and Germany. The results of the tests will 
be published on the HCI mailinglist.
