Given the number of recommendations we currently have (and how long I've put this action item off ... ). I want to make sure I do this in a way that helps move our recommendations forward. I mentioned this at the f2f but I'm not sure if the silence indicated agreement or disinterest :) I think this should be a starting point for the usability evaluations. In Dublin the time/budget demands of implementation and testing kept coming up and we all agreed we needed some type of refinement / weeding out process so we could appropriately allocate our resources. I suggest we use what we know from SharedBookmarks and our own experiences to do an expert evaluation of each of the recommendations.<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heuristic_evaluation> This should also help in making some initial plans for the user studies. Pointing out the areas where usability problems may exist using past research will help us come up with the some scenarios and use cases to verify. If others agree this would be useful, I'll start going through the recommendations and adding a section at the bottom of each with comments and hopefully others with usability experience will do the same (this will be more effective if a few people help out). - Maritza The action item says drive the process ... I think this counts as starting the bus so I'm closing it :)
