[Greenhouse] Recommended reading on user testing

[Asheesh Laroia]

Hi Greenhousers,

I was telling David we want to do some user testing soon. My notion of 
what we want get out of that is that we:

* Help them see very clearly what the tool is for, by trying out the 
intended workflow

* Have them help us identify what changes would help us help them achieve 
the goals

My general notion is that we want to do "user testing", for which the 
following two are good reading:

If we are really smart, we'll ask whoever participates in our user test to 
record their desktop so we can see where they click, etc. One Linuxy 
command to do that is:

ffmpeg -f alsa -ac 2 -i default -f x11grab -s $(xwininfo -root | grep 
'geometry' | awk '{print $2;}') -r 25 -i :0.0 -sameq -f mpeg -ar 48000 -s 
wvga -y myoutput.vid

(Then you stop it by doing Ctrl-C.

Cheers for now,

-- Asheesh.
