do user research

[zaziemo]

• define research questions, e.g. how many languages do already registred speakers speak?
• define methods e.g. user survey or qualitative interview, database request, piwik data

[zaziemo]

Question for organizers concerning search:

• Which information about a speaker you want to see at a first glance in the listing of the results?
• What are typical research questions?
• How do you want to browse speakers?
• What do you decide about contacting a speaker?
• How much time do you have for your research?

Ame: 1) As a researcher/organizer you are visiting the site: https://speakerinnen.org/en/categories/10 What kind of profile are you expecting to find? What do you think of the content of the tag cloud below? Does it meet your expectations?

• expect to find topic related profiles (companies/startups)
• extremly long list of profiles (should be around 50)
• extremly long list of topics inside profiles (can we limit them)?
• probably cool to have a breadcrumb to see where we you are
• language mixture no problem
• probably it would be cool to have an interactive possibility to see other language tags (if we decide to limit the tags to the locale)
• show relative size of topics, e.g. through count of usage - social media (22)

2) As a researcher/organizer you are looking for german or english language speaking people for the topic programmieren / programming. What kind of autosuggest do you expect? What kind of search results do you expect?

• autosuggest is a little bit slow
• if you are on results page: show query somewhere and if possible: show other options you got via autosuggest

3) As a speaker you are editing your profile. How and where do you expect to add your tags if you have a german and english language account? How do you expect your profile to be displayed in the english locale, how in the german?

• it should be possible to use different tags in different languages
• if you have already edited profile in one language copy tags to next language (speaker can remove and translate them) --> what does autosuggest suggest then? Only tags with current language?

conference organizer:

1) As a researcher/organizer you are visiting the site: https://speakerinnen.org/en/categories/10What kind of profile are you expecting to find

• I am expecting the name, job description (if relevant), company (if relevant, could help), language/s, topics, level of the talk topics (beginner friendly, intermediate, advanced, keynote), (social) media link (twitter (!!!), github, blog, link to articles)
• position in job: senior, junior, trainee, student, researcher, Phd, freelance (if relevant for the topic)
• inspirational or technical talks- community "membership" 
• links to slide(s) / video(s) / stream(s) to the talks (if you click on the profile) What do you think of the content of the tag cloud below? Does it meet your expectations?The tag cloud has still lot's of German tags such as: Achtsamkeit, Frauen in Führungspositionen, Persönlichkeitsentwicklung, etc... 
• Would be great if German words could be filtered but it doesn't bother- And I didn't really understand why some words are bigger than others: Do you find more talks if the word has bigger letters?  Anja: add the number of appearances in brackets as Ame said
• And alphabetical order seems like a good idea 

2) As a organizer you are looking for german or english language speaking people for the topic programmieren / programming.

English / doesn't have to be native

What kind of autosuggest do you expect? When I am typing Andr...; it's suggested Android and it's exactly what I am expecting. Also when I am typing develop.., it autosuggests software developer. That seems logically to me. 

What kind of search results do you expect?

• When I am clicking enter after typing developer. I would expect more than Countries, Cities, LanguagesI hoped for more tag suggestions such as: Java, frontend, backend, phython, etc...  Anja: add the tags that are releated to that tag ( same category?)
• Or basically I hoped that the systems would have asked me to be more specific 

3) As a speaker you are editing your profile. How and where do you expect to add your tags if you have a german and english language account? How do you expect your profile to be displayed in the english locale, how in the german?
