Hello Fluid-work, & a thought on Image Reorderer

[Daphne Ogle]

Hey Alison,

I decided to check out the user testing results on the Image Reorderer  
component and see that testing for it actually never happened.  The  
protocol was started, although it probably needs some updating.  Not  
knowing what your schedule is like and how much testing you are doing  
with Justin, I'm wondering if doing some user testing on this  
component would be interesting to you?

We never did catch up via phone.  I still think it would be great  
catch up.  Perhaps we could talk about the possibility of doing some  
user testing?  I'm in the midst of updating all the protocols now for  
some accessibility testing our colleagues at Landmark College with be  
doing.

Let me know if you've got some time before next Friday 2/13 as I'll be  
out of the office for 2 weeks starting then.

-Daphne
