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.

Hi,

It's Alison Benjamin, I am a student volunteer with Fluid focusing on testing components with Justin. I am a Masters of Information student doing this work as a part of an Inclusive Design Lab I am taking with Steve Hockema at the University of Toronto. If I haven't met you in a stand-up meeting, in a chat, or in person, hello.

Here is a thought I have about the image re-orderer.

One thing I have found difficult is that when moving images with the mouse, it is hard to tell which target you are aiming at. I think this is because the target is indicated by the red horizontal line. Sometimes this makes the target ambiguous.

I think it is more precise to have the target surrounded by a shape. For example on this page:

http://build.fluidproject.org/fluid/sample-code/shared/portal/portal.html

when you drag an element around (e.g. Bookmarks Portlet) the potential target locations for it are surrounded by a red dotted line and a pink background - I really liked that.

Thanks
