Infrastructure » ONE Mercury

The usability working group has conducted tests with participants of the ESIP conference that assess the usability of the Mercury user interface. This ticket documents the overarching issues, and the subtasks address the individual issues. The issues have so far been summarized in a presentation stored on https://docs.dataone.org: (https://docs.dataone.org/member-area/working-groups/usability-and-assessment/dataone-usability-tests-ua-working-group/UA_ESIP_Testing_Results_AHM_2012.pptx/at_download/file).
