Hey Jason et al,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Please find my takes on these questions below.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">1. Yeah, we definitely want low-vision and motor
disabilities as well as blind. If we could find some
cognitively-disabled testers that would be ideal too, but might
be harder to evaluate and deal with.</div>
<div class="">2. I’m in favor of 50-ish here, it seems a decent
sample size for the audience.</div>
<div class="">3. Fluency in English is about all I can think of
here :)</div>

<div>Best,</div>

folks,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Here are some requests for clarification
from Dr. Chris Power @ AbleGamers, who leads the
Player Panel program there. (And thank you again for
setting up that connection, Mark!)</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I of course don’t wish to speak
unilaterally for the team, so I’d like to share the
questions with y’all, along with my own educated-guess
answers, and give y’all a chance to correct or improve
them. (Or a chance to say my answers seem fine, if in
fact they do.)</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Please respond no later than the evening
of Monday, November 19. Let’s plan to discuss this at
our call then, as well, with an aim to get our
response back to Chris by the next day.<br class="">

<div class="">Looking at this document it has
most of what we need. The players that you
need, you say that you are looking for
mobility and visual disabilities. Just some
clarifications on this and I will get this
out early this week.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">1) When you say mobility
impairments I'm assuming upper limb
mobility. For visual impairments, are you
looking for both blind and low-vision?</div>
</div>
</div>
</blockquote>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Yes to upper-limb mobility
impairments, since these are plain old
mouse-and-keyboard games, and yes to both blind
and low-vision players — right?</div>
<br class="">
<blockquote type="cite" class="">
<div class="">
<div dir="ltr" class="">
<div class="">2) Approximately how players are
you looking for? 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? (Granted, it’s a good
question, since I hadn’t considered that before now.)</div>
