[Sugar-devel] OT: Thesis: OLPC Evaluation with Usability Engineering

[Edward Cherlin]

This is wonderful. I have been tackling the problem of Usability from
a different direction, Discoverability, as you can see on my Wiki page

http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/The_Undiscoverable.

I am in the middle of greatly extending that study. I am also,
unfortunately, in the middle of moving from California to Indiana,
about 2,000 miles/3,000 km. I intend to sort the topics I find
according to their dependencies, and work out how to introduce each
idea in some context of interest in some subject matter area. I will
need my work tested and improved by teachers and students.
