Hi, Philippe. Just so that the audience of the list does not lose context of the original thread, I would like to reiterate the email thread between Michael and myself. Michael's question was as follows; "Purely out of interest: Was this (implying the use of the usability research budget) a restriction of the Stanton grant or was it a decision by the WMF (usability team)?" And my answer was; "The restriction is from the Stanton grant." You are raising a different question with regards to the use of research results. There is no restriction in the use or sharing the test results publicly as long as we respect and protect privacy of test participants. We are video taping the lab test and plan to make it publicly available, as long as we have consents from the participants. I hope my answer helps to clear your concerns. - Naoko -- Support Free Knowledge: http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Donate _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
