- accessibility of YUI button
- Action items from last week:
- check out accessibility and licensing of Yahoo libraries
- Create HTML mockup using YUI buttons (Harriet) - done
- Show to some users (Harriet, Kathy if poss) - in progress
- Discuss on UI-DG (Harriet & Kathy et al) - waiting for showing to users to be done
Minutes:*
- start with some usability feedback
- Kathy: sketching the resources screen
- 2 of 5 people didn't know that they could add folders
- Harriet: we get a lot of support questions about how to create folders. People know they can do this, but have a hard time seeing how
- Harriet: testing of YUI button
- 3 tasks: creating folder, and a new file, rename a folder
- 5 experienced Sakai users, but not particularly tech-y.
- no one had any difficulty using the buttons, no surprise expressed
- feedback generally positive
- suggestions included size (e.g. text too small, button too large)
- haven't tried it with people that were new to Sakai
- people at CARET were less positive, because it's not a standard UI component
- but the average person doesn't seem to cope well with the standard dropdown - the standard here hasn't been very effective
- also accessibility issues
- there's so much text on the page, that people weren't really noticing the multiple add buttons on the screen
- another thing we need to look at - we have two new contexts for adding content
- Gonzalo's suggestion that we simplify those and not display extra information
- new create files and folders pages (can be seen on http://nightly2.sakaiproject.org)
