I'm trying to figure out what our low bar is. That's why it starts with (and you removed in quoting) "At a minimum". If you think that's not our minimum, let us all know what is. But I think it's important to get it stated. What's the least we'll settle for, such that if we don't get it, we'll have to declare failure? I'm setting that bar at _some_ usability testing, with those resources. Turning it around, how about we also state a goal - what we're hoping for and realistically believe we could achieve. Could you (or anyone else) propose a sentence or two on that? Mez
