Hey all, This is probably a good time for some more usability tests. Its easy:
Find someone that knows how to use a computer (a wife/girlfriend/parent/friend/sibling etc), but hasn't used Freenet before and (ideally) doesn't know much about it. Ask them to perform a specific task, examples may include: - "Find out what Freenet is and decide if you are interested in trying it" - "Go to the freenet website, download and install the software, and find some information about Iran" - "Install Freenet, then post a message on Freetalk" That type of thing. In many cases they may not manage to complete the task successfully, but take note of what trips them up. DO NOT PROMPT THEM or offer them help unless they are really stuck and can't make progress (in which case take note of why), it should be just like they are trying Freenet without you there. Examples of problems to note: - Can't find where to download Freenet from the website - Confused by the installation process - Install Freenet but don't know what to do next - Think Freenet is broken because it doesn't respond as quickly as the WWW Please do this, and report your findings here and/or via the bugtracker (here is probably better so that we can discuss any problems before deciding on the appropriate solutions).
