Gregg Vanderheiden	Tab 1 - GET STARTED- was brilliant. Clear - short - informative. This looks kind of like what the other survey talked about -- a short summary up front with the basics. This is not REAL short - but it is made up of real short blocks. very nice. Tab 2 - USER NEEDS - seemed to be completely redundant with page 1 (Not sure what to do. it is great on page 1 so don't want to remove. I guess I would keep the current format- and have USER NEEDS sometimes be redundant with page 1 and sometimes provide much deeper coverage. Tab 3 ACTIVITIES - this is a bit confusing at first since it is not a tab but a group of tabs. The name is confusing but can't think of a better one off hand. OH this tab should be HOW TO - since that is what is under it. that or STEPS. but I like HOW TO. TAB 4 - EXAMPLES -- I would make this the THIRD tab. it really helps people to understand what it is all about - BEFORE diving into all the HOW Tos TAB 5 - RESOURCES -- good TAB 6 - METHODS -- this one had me completely baffled. I would think all of the things in TAB 3 ACTIVITIES(HOWTO) were methods or ways of doing things. I could not figure out what this section was about and why it wasnt under ACTIVITIES(HOW TO). A final thought. MUCH of what is in the HOW TO section (ACTIVITIES) is general - and will appear in every single SC making them all redundant with each other. I would just stop reading them after the third. Hmmmm. MAYBE have a section at the bottom - that is in a block - that has all the general procedure that is the same for everything ( or about the same) and a section at the top that says "Overall procedure would follow good practices as described below. Advice and tips specific to this SC are: and then just list the things that relate to this SC but not bunches of other ones -- or all of them. After you do about 8 of these - I think the redundancy will show. Overall very interesting - and breaking it up into tabs like this - makes it feel shorter and more people will read more parts of it. The part I did NOT read all the way was the PLAN tab - since it was a) LONG and b) had lots of common comments like "get started early" that did not relate to the SC but just seemed to be good practice advice.
Ian Kersey	Overall I feel like the breadcrumbs and navigation are intuitive. The tab / tabpanel implementation in the "Activities" section seems seems a bit confusing to me, since it is not consistent with other sections. I also have some concerns about the tab construction on smaller screen sizes and browser zoom.
Jeanne F Spellman	It was interesting to go through the wireframes thoroughly again after a month. The Get Started tab was replicated in the Develop tab. I think this was a copy-paste error in the click-thru, as I don't remember it in the original wireframe. I think the interface between the Activity -> Test and the Method still needs some work. Perhaps it can be addressed in titling -- for example, making HTML more prominent in the Method.
Mary Jo Mueller	I found it confusing when the "See More" button going from the Activities->Test->Images of text that takes you to the Method. It was a bit jarring to me. It also gets a little confusing when Methods have sub-tabs with the same names as the activities. I know this is probably a quick wireframe, but there should be some indication in the list of tabs of which is the currently viewed one. Otherwise it could be confusing. For example, when you're in Activities -> Test, both "Activities" and "Test" should have a visible selected state. Consider this alternate order of the items for the main tabs/pages: Get Started, User needs, Examples, Activities, Methods, Resources. Would really need to consider what content goes where and reduce repetition. The method details go into content that is very similar to the Get Started content. I do like the way the information is broken into smaller chunks and pages, but the content would need to be reduced and repetition reduced as well to simplify and streamline the information so it is quick and easy to consume. Visual good/bad examples in image form would also be helpful.
Stefan Schnabel	Breadcrumb Navigation should be more on top and not in-between, this is way confusing
Gundula Niemann	duplicate information, not fitting information, missing information, cumbersome to find what reader is looking for, confusing content - all of these were encountered. Information for the various phases does not match the named phase. I feel it is hard to handle and to consume, not really matching the needs.
Bruce Bailey	Overall, very good! I did not initially think "Carefully studied it" was an option at this stage, since I only found 11 pages to review. From Gregg's survey comment, I learned I missed the pages linked from Activity. I am hoping to understand better how multiple methods tie back to Guidelines. And where are Outcomes in this wireframe? +1 to concerns about repetitive content. My first impression impulse was to read/scroll through the landing page (Get Started) and then look for links thru to other material. It took me half a minute to think of scrolling back to the top or to start hitting the tab key. From that experience, I suggest User Needs (since it is short) ahead of Get Started (which, if 2nd, might need to be named "Overview") and more visual reinforcement of the tab-style interface (e.g., User Needs is dark-on-light text when that is the URL). I am of the opinion that Activities and Resources and Methods should have similar navigation mechanism. I overlooked that Activities had sub-pages.
Alastair Campbell	I think it is an improvement, everything for an outcome is under one area without going up and down to get to different things. One thought is that methods are supposed to be the next level under the outcome, but seem to be off to one side. Perhaps the methods could be listed at the bottom of the getting started?
