Towards standard methods and metrics for evaluating IA

[Rashmi Sinha <rashmi AT rashmisinha.com>]

Hi everyone,

Livia and John: once the W3C usability group figures out what their plan 
is, we should definitely explore the possibility of participating through 
this (IA-metrics) group. In the meantime, lets focus on figuring out the 
goals for this group.

I just checked: this list has 18 members now. I am looking forward to 
hearing from you all about your goals in joining this list. What are the 
sort of issues related to IA and evaluation this group should focus on? 
What are the kind of frustrations regarding evaluation that you face in 
your own work?

As I described in the introductory message, my own goals for this group are 
fairly narrow. The idea is to create some sort of a sharing mechanism and 
repository for evaluation materials. Next time, we need to evaluate our 
designs, lets use or adapt materials created by our colleagues that are 
available from this repository. Over a period of time, such sharing should 
lead to the emergence of some standards.

Looking forward to hearing from you all.
-Rashmi

PS: Livia , I should point out that you did not miss much by not looking at 
the archives for the list :-) There was one introductory post (from me) 
before your post.
