Fluid UX Walkthrough protocol - reorganized, looking for feedback.

[Jonathan Hung]

I wonder if it will be confusing if we provide those individual
checklists in addition to our Fluid UX walkthrough? Perhaps we can
make those individual checklists as PDF attachments. We would then
communicate in the Fluid UX Walkthrough that they can optionally
perform the evaluations separately and link to the individual PDF
files.

I added the procedure for selecting a Persona to the Preparation and
Execution page. I think that page will be very helpful when combined
with the Fluid UX Walkthrough document.

Does anyone else have an opinion as to how we should present the Fluid
UX Walkthough, Heuristic Walkthrough, and the Cognitive Evaluation?

- Jonathan.
