Andrew, thanks for putting this together.<div><br></div><div>Dan's comments are good. For me, personally, it's hard to understand how much we want to, or need to, "make of" the mesh network. Sometime down the road, we hope it will be "invisible" like WiFi, but for not it's key that we develop and understanding of how it actually works on mobile devices, and if users are able to understand its basic properties and failure modes. Therefore, in the current testing, the network IS prominent. Perhaps your start--up guide will need to say this.</div>

Hi all,<br>
<br>
We're beginning some user testing of the Commotion Android client in<br>
preparation for a round of UI refinement.<br>
<br>
I've thrown a draft script of the test procedures up on the wiki, as<br>
well as a short user survey to help categorize users by level of expertise.<br>
<br>
The script assumes Commotion will be preinstalled and will connect to an<br>
existing Commotion network. The user will perform a few tasks using the<br>
network (a Cryptocat chat in this case, though other apps would be fine)<br>
and talk about their experience.<br>
<br>
The survey focuses solely on Android expertise, but it's designed to be<br>
modular, so it could easily be augmented with questions about networking<br>
expertise or specific usage patterns.<br>
<br>
The script is here:<br>
<a href="https://code.commotionwireless.net/projects/commotion/wiki/Commotion-Android_v1_Script" target="_blank">https://code.commotionwireless.net/projects/commotion/wiki/Commotion-Android_v1_Script</a><br>
and it links to the survey, which is here:<br>

<br>
Feedback is welcome.<br>
