They're very time consuming and can be costly. So the chances are *very* small of all those costs coming out of our (equally) small budget. What I suggested was that interested and experienced community members band together to design and implement these tests. There is much more to usability testing than simply making lists of what people would like to see. It's a highly organized science of its own. Those difficulties translate directly into high costs, which is why we don't conduct them centrally. So while I agree that now is "a good time" to do it, that doesn't solve the problem of *who* is going to do it, and *how*. -- Paul W.
