I'll be at SxSW. If somebody wants to arrange a meetup, I'd definitely
put it on my calendar.

After recently talking with my wife about making a donation to the Red Cross
(to support the Haiti recovery effort), I went and had a look at their
donation form. All in all it's pretty weak. Which is unfortunate given how
important their organization is. I don't think it's so bad that people

I'd be happy to help as well, perhaps with a little quick and dirty
usability testing. Shoot me an email - we haven't spoken in a while!

Which particular form are you referring to? They seem to have several
online forms at different countries. Is it one of these?

I think it's a great idea. However, aren't they moving away from
forms to make donations? I just read an article that said people
could send a text message to a specific number and automagically
donate 10 bucks to them.
To me, no interface is better than a form just my 2 cents...

Great idea, but I guess I would have to ask if anyone at these
organizations even has time to manage and implement a new form on
their sites at a time like this. I imagine that they're completely
overwhelmed by this crisis.
I agree that the interfaceless option is probably the best under the

I've also spoken to some developer friends who can help out with the back

Do we have a PR person in the org.? Perhaps they'd be more likely to take us
seriously if they were doing the talking (rather than some schlub like me!)?
Just a thought.

It's a good thought - many charity sites need help in this regard.
Last Christmas, the various branches of my family all suggested
favorite charities to donate to, and I had the opportunity to make
use of three different ones - all were clunky, awkward, and
needlessly discouraging to someone

considered important for this urgent initiative. You can reach me via

Just saying.

Of course. They could very well tell us to take a long walk off a short
pier. Never hurts to offer though.

Hi All,
I'm Austin's local IxD leader. I hadn't posted yet, as we're still trying to
work out the details, but the Austin IxDA team is working on a UX breakfast.
Not that we're opposed to drinking, too, but Tex-Mex breakfasts ROCK and we
wouldn't want y'all to miss out on the good eating that is
I mostly lurk on the list, but I'll be in town for SXSW and would
definitely come to a meetup if one happens.

My understanding is that
David Meltzer is the
Sr. VP International Services at American Red Cross .
If you decide to offer them your services, perhaps he
can be reached at:
David Meltzer, American Red Cross
He is also on Linkedin.

It certainly doesn't hurt to offer. And it doesn't hurt to consider
where they're at or where they're coming from either.
Many times a kludgy interface is due to it being dictated by the
back end where an apparently easy tweak can wreak havoc on other
layers (talking to the DB, e-commerce, etc.)
Are there any standard to have labels about the input necessarily. Shouldn't
placement of labels and input fields depend on length, type and other
parameters of a form?
If you are talking of Haiti...
Great idea! I'll be there, so count me in!

Hi guys,
I passed on your comments earlier to contacts at the Red Cross, who
advised that they're really grateful of the advice/help. But right
now they're v busy with the crisis [as am sure you can imagine].
Their lated tweet:

Count me in for pro-bono usability engineering/testing if this effort gets
off the ground. And if a committee is formed to plan or execute the
initiative, I'd be happy to help out in that capacity as well :^).

I'm trying to figure out a methodology that I can use to gain a
better understanding about a specific user group and how they use the
software that I'm going to be re-designing.
The user group is essentially a business person that is on the go,
often working remotely in different locations. In
If you need a usability engineer to help out with this effort, I would
