The percentage of editors reading message boards like Village pump (idea lab) has to be a very small fraction. The ratio of developers to normal users reading and responding will be disproportionate. Village Pump does not represent what the average user wants. Successful companies looking to invest in new services or products will perform studies, focus groups, and surveys. What I propose is a survey consisting of 250+ randomly-selected recently active auto-confirmed users. Users could be shown images or videos as well having written descriptions of proposed changes to the UI and ask for how interested, how useful, how effective, etc. they think it will be for them. Smaller focus groups can be organized where users are asked to go to a test wiki and perform certain tasks and answer questions about their experience. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
