Re: ACTION-237: Drive the process of Matching SharedBookmark content to Recommendations

I agree it would be useful. 

Would you like some time at a meeting to discuss how we'll incorporate 
this work, or are you comfortable getting started on it before that 
discussion?

ACTION-237: Drive the process of Matching SharedBookmark content to 
Recommendations








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.<

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).

The action item says drive the process ... I think this counts as starting 
the bus so I'm closing it :)
