Admin Help Meeting Recap


Here’s the highlights of today’s meeting:

New help option to test

@ubernaut & @jazzs3quence got a new plugin in the repo to test. https://wordpress.org/plugins/color-help/
This one adds a color to the help link (and a background color in MP6) and bolds the text to make it more noticeable.

UserTesting.com issues…resolved?

@siobhan contacted UserTesting.com support to ask about whether it’s possible to move the recorder thing by default. The answer is no. So we added a task in the list of tasks for the users to complete to move the recorder first.

Prepping for the next round of testing

@siobhan made the testing site a multisite so we can have separate sub-sites for each test. I created 3 sites on the network, one with the default install, one with my plugin that moves the help to the admin bar, and one with the color help plugin. I activated MP6 across the network, made all the sites use Twentytwelve, and removed all but the Meta, Search, and Recent posts widgets in the sidebar.

I set up 3 of each test, so hopefully it won’t be a problem with people trying to do things on top of each other (unfortunately I hadn’t thought of that…)

Next week we can talk about the results. (and see if I messed things up by doing more than one at a time :/ )
