Lynn and Denis will be at EclipseWorld on October 29 to perform some usability testing on the www.eclipse.org website.

We will give candidates specific scenarios and actions to perform on our website. The goal is to identify the key areas of our website that are difficult to use and unclear to our users in order to improve them, and to identify those areas of our website that provide easy and clear access to information so that we can use them as benchmarks.
