[OSM-talk] iD usability study: Looking for test persons

[Jan B]

Hi Steve,

I agree that it would be interesting to see that, but testing other
editors than iD is not in the scope of this research. Nonetheless there
exists user research on, e.g. Potlatch 2 with which the results could be
compared (and will be in my thesis).

Cheers
