Hey Stefan, We are currently working on a project aimed at tidying and enhancing the Export Tool and are drafting a usability questionnaire as part of it in order to address some of these issues you have mentioned in your messages linked to the tweet.
This is exactly what is needed and what we would like to achieve. I am going through your proposed lists, but would love more of your input and was wondering if you will be attending the Technical WG meeting today at 17:00 UTC?
