I've applied the changes from this email. See: http://www.w3.org/2006/WSC/drafts/note/#usability-testing and other mentioned sections. Maritza, I found the Tiny Fingers reference in this email. Please ignore the earlier email asking for this reference. Tyler ________________________________ From: public-wsc-wg-request@w3.org [mailto:public-wsc-wg-request@w3.org] On Behalf Of Maritza Johnson Sent: Wednesday, April 04, 2007 6:05 AM To: W3 Work Group Subject: Re: comments on use-cases Content looks good, just some small suggestions on wording. 1. Re-wording for 10.3 Current: ... the resources to do "low fidelity" paper usability testing on a modest numbers volunteers (10-20) from WG member organizations. Suggested: ... the resources to do "lo-fi" prototyping for usability testing [Tiny Fingers]. Volunteer participants will be found through WG member organization. Reason: Lo-fi implies paper or some other sort of prototype that isn't completely functional. The second sentence -- Must we say how many people we'll run through? From a CHI point of view I prefer the suggested wording because it doesn't imply we'll intentionally recruit participants only from the WG organizations (which we should really try to avoid anyway, internal testing tends to skew results). Reference for "lo-fi prototyping" in 10.3: Tiny Fingers Prototyping for tiny fingers; M. Rettig: Communications of the ACM , April, Vol.37,No.4.; 1994. 2. +1 to Robert Y's suggestion to reword 2.2 but for a different reason Current: ... what security information a user requires to proceed safely ... Suggestion: ... what security information is relevant to the user accomplishing their current task (or achieving their current goals) safely ... Reason: Continuing with my argument from the f2f about the necessary security information being specific to both the current user and their current task, each of them "requires" different things, or may not require, but rather would prefer to know/see, or would like to know/see certain things. I don't _need_ to know the content on this page has not been modified, but I'd like to know that. 3. Typo in 10.3 Last paragraph, "usbility" (it's right in the middle of the paragraph,'find' will be better than trying to describe where it is :) I'm happy with the wording in Section 10.1, after picking through it at the last F2F. - Maritza Johnson http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~maritzaj/
