An important component of the Alexandria Project involves determining user requirements and evaluating the system as it comes online, to insure that user requirements are met. We proposed a series of forums to review the design of the Alexandria system.
The group was charged with continuing active participation in reviewing ADL. At that stage in system implementation, ADL did not have ready mechanisms to facilitate large volume external involvement. Since then, we have implemented online surveys, beta testing of the Web version, and other means for electronic feedback. We have developed a large group of beta testers, and developed a second Design Review Panel accordingly.
