=New Items for next meeting=

= Project Status =
 * 1) Usability Testing for Education Features T108620 (and Single Edit Tab)
 * 2) JMo: Daisy met with VE Launch team this morning.  Anticipates sharing a deck by end of day Friday.
 * 3) UX Testing Notifications
 * 4) Prioritizing the survey; have survey text and mockup of survey link dissemination.
 * 5) Still need development work of putting the link out
 * 6) Joe: Moriel is working on that today.
 * 7) Joe: Nick wants to restrict it to people who signed up for "All beta"
 * 8) Pau: maybe he's trying to avoid the unsolicited contact problem?
 * 9) JMo: I understand but don't share that concern.
 * 10) Joe: Down to about 8000 people with current constraints, and hoping for 1000 results.  Could cut it down significantly.  I'll push back on that.
 * 11) JMo: there's plenty of precedent for displaying surveys through banners.
 * 12) Joe: should be ready to go within a few days.
 * 13) What about direct testing?
 * 14) JMo: holding off on that, waiting for survey results first.  Survey includes questions about email that we can use to recruit testers.
 * 15) Pau: timing of development could also affect timing of UX testing.  How long will we still be working on it?
 * 16) Joe: into April, so we are coming up on that deadline [where test results will be too late for dev team to act on].  Ideal would be to complete research in next 2-3 weeks.
 * 17) JMo: We can't meet that deadline.  We can focus on user studies after this round of survey, and could schedule sessions within that window.
 * 18) JMo: Pau and I should revise the study protocol now that some parts of it are covered in the survey.  TODO.  Pau to do first revision of study protocol and then send to JMo.

 * 25) Paying for testers
 * 26) JMo: we have buy-in from the store and from legal and finance to provide user study participants with honoraria (in form of store credit gift code, or we get their information and talk to the store for them), and have a process.
 * 27) Don't have DR budget until July, but if Collab team has budget, we can pilot this with upcoming user studies.  Estimate total cost $25/tester.
