Usability Discussion:

We're going to use this page to collect, collate and summarise issues that are raised regarding the usability of this site. It's hoped that this will aid the development of 'help' pages (you'll notice that there aren't any yet). So if, as you use the site, you find some things difficult (impossible!) or dysfunctional either post a comment on the forum or use the links at the end of this page.

Transition East is one of the pilots being run by the Transition Network, the others are investigating how information and knowledge can be shared between theme groups (at a national level) and how training and re-skilling opportunities can be offered in a single place. All three pilots are informing the Transition web project which has been described as;

'A set of networks of people taking responsibility and providing support for different aspects of Transition Network, for example, people looking after local initiatives in a region, people from similar theme group to share best practice and support each other'

All three pilots are undergoing the same testing and a volunteer, Melissa Worth, is hoping to interview a few people about their experiences. To get things started here are a few of the questions that are being asked; if you follow the various links (below) you'll be taken to a page where you can answer the question by adding a comment - you have to be logged on so there isn't any anonymity, but don't hold back it's important that we get real answers:

• Was the platform easy to use?
• Did you use it?
• What for?
• Did it offer you a good balance of tools to support your initiative?
• Did you use the support network?
• Did you need any support?
• Did your members use it?
• How could it be improved?

If you'd like to talk to Melissa leave your name on the page below and Gary or I will forward your email address:

• I'd like to be interviewed!
