Flow/Moderated Testing, November, 2014: talk pages and Flow

Goals for Survey
To better understand (from new and casual contributors) how they experience talk/ discussion pages and flow, we are spending an hour with each of 10 new and casual contributors over a few weeks. Here are some of the things we are looking to learn:
 * 1) How do casual new contributors experience talk pages/ discussion pages and flow?
 * 2) What is easy for this group of people to do in talk pages, discussion pages and flow?
 * 3) What could be made easier in talk pages, discussion pages and flow for this group of people?

How are we going to get the answers?

 * 1) Define the users to invite to participate:
 * 2) "Casual contributors" = less than 100 edits total
 * 3) "New contributors" = less than 5 edits total
 * 4) Design research protocol and structured data collection for the research sessions.
 * 5) Find the right participants who are willing to volunteer an hour to collaborate with us.
 * 6) Implement 10 hour long research sessions and collect data
 * 7) Analysis of data: review collected data and look for patterns / insights / findings.
 * 8) Synthesis: What do the patterns/ findings that we see in the data mean for the design of discussion / flow pages?
 * 9) Report out findings: You will see those findings right here on this page once we are done.
