Yeah, we definitely want low-vision and motor disabilities as well as blind.

With <span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>this advertisment with the players above, it will go out to about 200 players. That might generate about 100 players for you. You do not have to engage with all of them - but if you are only looking for a certain number, we might advertise to a smaller cohort and then snowball sample out for you. </div></div></div></blockquote><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">This is an interesting question. If we let our available budget dictate this, and we plan to spend the committee’s entire $500 discretionary fund on the $10 Amazon gift-card rewards, then that sets an obvious upper limit of 50 players (assuming that all of them complete their surveys, which I imagine is probably not realistic). I am also mindful that our resources for handling questions from testers is also limited, and I don’t want to overburden that resource (since I reckon that I will personally help with that).</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Do we want to take Chris’s invitation and start with an initial cap of 50 testers, snowballing in another round or two if needed? Or should we stretch to include more testers? (Hoping to hear from crowd-testing veterans on what a good target number is here, and noting that we certainly can push beyond 50 if that would make a significant better final report…)</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I suppose that we could also just accept the whole, no-limit list, and then inform them all that we will proceed to randomly choose 50 as our initial testing group, and treat the remainder as a reserve (to fill in any gaps from non-returned surveys), with a clearly defined schedule so that nobody’s left surprised or confused. But I’m not sure if that would be against the intended use-pattern of Player Panels, somehow?</div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div class="">3) Are you looking in a particular country?</div></div></div></blockquote><br class=""></div></div><div class="">I reckon that we do not care about country, and require only that testers are fluent with written English — right?
