I just pushed this to Planet Sugarlabs: http://blog.melchua.com/2010/09/16/get-sugar-instructions-newcomers-needed-for-usability-testing/
Short version is that Walter's come up with a new design for our Downloads page - http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/User:Walter/Get_Sugar - and needs feedback on it, so I wrote up notes that we can forward to our not-yet-participating-in-Sugarlabs-but-curious-about-it friends to help them help us get that sort of data. Also adding a couple Boston-area group lists in case y'all are looking for ways to get involved or get newcomers involved (this is a small example, but you can do these kinds of things with local parents/teachers as a way of helping them get into contributing to the Sugar community).[0] --Mel [0] It's called http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legitimate_peripheral_participation, and it's how you make any community - a club, a project, anything - grow. _______________________________________________ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)
