Hi, I'm the PI on the CogTool Project and I want to assure you that we are continuing work and will have a new release in Fall 2008. Most of the new features are already working, have been tested with internal users on real projects, and we are now concentrating on documentation, so the new release is really coming.
We have made a lot of usability improvements (yes, we've used CogTool on our designs for CogTool as well as think-aloud usability studies and other HCI techniques). So hopefully some of the frustrations Santiago mentions have been taken care of in the next release. As with any software development project, we are juggling our resources and priorities, so we can't fix everything for the next release, but if you send us requests and bugs, we'll do our best. In terms of using CogTool for building prototypes, we have made a lot of improvements. Its very efficient now to make menu systems and systems of related widgets like radio buttons and list boxes. And you can export your prototypes to HTML to share with folks who don't want to download CogTool or use as a basis for quick-and-dirty user testing. So please keep watching and let us know what you think. Bonnie John . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
