Lightbox User Testing Protocol

[Colin Clark]

Hi Barbara and all,

This is a really good testing protocol for the Lightbox. Nice work!

The UX team talked about user testing briefly on our planning call 
today. For those of you who weren't there, here's a quick summary.

The 0.1 release is unusual in that we haven't had the opportunity to do 
a lot of user testing on the Lightbox yet. Now that we've got a solid 
test plan, it will serve as the basis for identifying and fixing 
usability issues with the Lightbox and Reorderer over the next few 
releases. User testing will become an ongoing activity for us from here on.

We'll fix as many issues as we can before 0.1, and then continue with 
user testing and refactoring into 0.2, refining the test plan as we go.

Barbara mentioned during the meeting that she's planning to run this 
plan with Justin Obara early next week here in Toronto. Is anyone else 
able to do some testing with users at their institution?
