Re: [IxDA Discuss] on Critique (was G1 Android - case study in inconsistency)
Speaking of critique, would anyone else in NYC be interested in getting together on a regular basis (monthly? bimonthly?) for critique sessions? Would any of the luminaries on here be interested in mentoring such events? I haven't really thought through the details, but I'd be willing to put in some organizational effort to make it happen if there's enough interest out there I think one of the big issues is one that Jared Spool's latest Webinar is trying to address in the UX community.

Perhaps Jared's recent article on What goes into a Well-Done Critique has already been mentioned on this list, but if not, here's the link: http://www.uie.com/articles/critique/ I thought this an excellent short article with good recommendations and positive examples of how experienced reviewers help to make critiques successful for their teams.
