Sorry I wasn't clear, I meant more the use of tags related to common observed patterns mark and select after (with sparse tree) those in which that pattern or issue is relevant. Great to group things (tasks, observations, etc.) related to the same issue. >> + automatic filling of User/task-results-and-time matrix (the >> most fundamental metric of usability tests). > Wow, this would be great. Yes, but for that I have to learn Lisp. ;) I'm starting with "An Introduction To Programming in Emacs Lisp" by Robert J. Chassell. Just minutes a week sadly, but this is what I can do now. :) In the document structure we have: * Users, ** Pre-task interview ** tasks (with TODO states as indicators of success|failure|so-so; maybe we can use properties). - each one with one or more timer entry - so total task time is the last item timer value, ** Post-task interview To make the User/task-results-and-time matrix we'll have to walk the hierarchy and get for each User the sequence of tasks, and of each, the success (or not), time and tag (issue) related and put that in the results matrix. Since I couldn't find other references about orgmode used for usability, I am organizing an informal workshop to share this experience next week with 10 people or so from the usability community in Buenos Aires. If someone is interested, we can arrange another in English after this 1st one. ;) Best regards... -- eduardo mercovich Donde se cruzan tus talentos con las necesidades del mundo, ahí está tu vocación.
