Parul's Notes
- has edited once - light rail system
- i'm going to ignore this, but i'm intrigued.
- i've only logged in once, so i can't say this is different than when i did it before (maybe 6 weeks)
- not adding something - i think it's a new engtry - she had searched and it said it wasn't there.
- was wondering if it was just looking for the page title and not looking for that phrase in the body of the entry - looking for the search.
- clicks on advanced search, searching for content within that article. maybe put it in quotes. someone else might have a different name for it
- i'm still not certain that there's not some stub article.
- nothing below the search results when it asks me to check the search results below
- searches for more specific? goes through the motions of checking for an article. noe valley google shuttle
- nothing changed on this page.
- keeps searching because she seems convinced that it must be there
- creates this page from the link there.
- grayed out but i don't understand why - it means i've just been there.
- this is a little confusing.....lots of information
- this is asking more of me than i want to give at the moment. maybe it should have more of a flow chart. start here - if you have trouble go here. maybe take me to an article wizard and let me opt out of it.
- drawing board, user space, a lot of different names here and it sounds like it's wiki jargon.
- if i have to learn the interface than i'm less interested in spending time writing the article.
- i would use this safe place, then add it to the real world.
- big white box that tells me where to type.
- completes minor edit etc before she types.
- goes through each feature before saving page.
- reads all instructions and all elements on the page
- i would want to give the introduction
- makes bold
- hover over
- "not a clear icon to me"
- now that's bold, i would assume
- now i would
- link - puts in link using "wiki text" says it's wrong (needs to have something
- finds difference - internal link.
- goes back to check behavior
- it would be good to know that before i get there. maybe it has to send a query first.
- creates a table with no problems.
- that's, like, not real friendly
- that did what i expected it to do, but it took me two steps to get there.
- for a short article that would be good. for a longer article it wouldn't be good.
- where the seals are? or images?
- "OH BOY!" when she sees a template
- i think they're discouraging people from editing. just because this - WOW.
- trying to find my way through here. please don't edit this page, go to the daughter page.
- all of this stuff down here i don't understand. i don't know what transcluded means. it's a link so maybe it'll tell me. included by reference.
- this is the danger.
- i'm intimidated by this.
- she uses main search to search within the page. does not see search and find and uses browser find.
- would have been nice to have some kind of search function.
- would be nice to do it on the fly.
- that whole editing thing could have been easier!
Nimish's hilights
- doesn't know if stub article might already exist, concern with duplicating other's work
- search article contents vs titles confusing
- starting a page full of too much information, confusing
- terminologly: user space, sandbox, drawing board
- scared "put it(page) in a safe place"
- "I think they're discouraging people from editing"
- "transcluded" -> didn't know what this means
- "how to search within the page?" -> NTOC still not specific enough
