Re: [wtp-pmc] Request for time at PMC meeting to introduce the WTP usabi

[Lawrence Mandel <lmandel@xxxxxxxxxx>]

David, 

Up until this point Leah has only solicited
participants for a pre-study, to iron out details with the reporting tools.
Leah is preparing to launch the real study shortly.

Obviously with an open source project
like WTP, PMC permission is not required to adopt the code, run a study
on the code, or do anything else with it. That said, all I meant with the
PMC's 'blessing' is that the PMC understands the goal of the study and
I hope is (passively or actively) supportive of Leah's efforts.

Thanks,

Lawrence Mandel

Yes, I've seen Leah's notes on the newsgroups, and would love to hear more
about it ... but will ask what "get our blessing" means. I don't
think we (as a PMC)  be in any position to give official endorsement
or official approval (at least not with a 5-10 intro) and would not see
why that would be needed. Any reason why this has surfaced now, at this
time, instead of several months ago when she began to solicit participants?

But, yes, sounds great and all experimental psychologist and cognitive
scientists have my personal blessing :)

Subject	[wtp-pmc] Request for time at PMC meeting to introduce the WTP        usability study

Leah Findlater, a University of British Columbia PhD student, is about
to start a usability study based on WTP. I'd like to request 5-10 minutes
at this coming Tuesday's (Feb. 14) PMC meeting to introduce Leah and let
her give the PMC a short overview of the study, its goals, and its requirements
in order to educate the PMC on what she's going to be up to and get your
'blessing'. 

If I don't hear any objections for this coming week I'll invite Leah to
join us at 10am EST. 

Thanks,
