Open user research activities for 2021
Hey @gus & @nah, we have the next UX Team Meeting coming up on Tuesday 9th of Feb*, and we may (hopefully!) have a couple of UR volunteers attending.
At the last meeting we discussed reviewing our open user research needs in the community portal, which currently include:
Tor Browser for Desktop
- User Research: Onboarding
- User Research: Security Settings
- User Research: New Identity
- User Needs Discovery
Tor Browser for Android
- User Research: Onboarding
- User Research: Security Settings
- User Research: New Identity
- User Needs Discovery
Onion Services
- User Research: Onion Security Indicator
I know reviewing this list is a larger activity, however I have a couple of quick questions ahead of the UX Team Meeting:
- How do we normally onboard UR contributors? Is that something either of you could run during the team meeting (e.g. a short introduction)?
- Would you prefer first-time contributors to run a more straightforward activity first, like User Needs Discovery or something similar?
And longer term questions are:
- Are there any activities on the community portal we'd like to retire?
- Should we include the Get Bridges activity? If so, are we only running this activity in censored environments, or is it worth running it in lower-risk non-censored environments in a simulated scenario?
- Are there any other existing activities you would like to include? E.g. a hybrid research/training session on Running an Emma Network Test, should the contributor be comfortable with Emma?
- Any other ideas for new activities we can create and add to the community portal
* I'm going to send out a reminder this afternoon
