Description

Usability testing to do after tasks below are done:

Help needed

For usability testing, I need two things:

  1. a set of 5-10 discrete tasks a person might try to accomplish by visiting the docs. I will give these tasks to people and record how they accomplish (or don't accomplish) the task.
  2. Volunteers who are willing to let me Skype with them / meet in person to watch them try to accomplish said tasks above. Volunteers would need to be unaware of the tasks ahead of time.

Re no. 3 above, here's one possible way to classify the kinds of templates we could produce for docs. On the site itself, we would want to categorize possibly by these categories with more specific categories nested inside. I'll have to find out more by usability testing.

@LeKoArts thanks for these ideas! Will report back after I do some testing.
