PLEASE READ THE SECTION MARKED "HOW TO VOTE" BEFORE VOTING.
FIRST MASS VOTE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND SECOND CALL FOR VOTES: comp.human-factors
STATUS OF NEWSGROUP: unmoderated
PURPOSE/CHARTER:
To provide a forum for discussion of general issues relating to
human-computer interaction (HCI) and human factors.
HCI is an extremely broad topic. Examples of possible subjects for
discussion include:
* Design of keyboards, mice, joysticks.
* Choice of command names and parameter syntax, and the effect on
the number of mistakes users make.
* Design of effective symbols for communicating information.
* Control relations for scroll bars, switches and so on.
* Use of Agents for representing semi-autonomous processes.
* Use of colour in user interface design.
* Methods for prototyping user interfaces.
* How to evaluate the effectiveness of a user interface.
* Designing effective dialogues for interactive programs.
* Possible new forms of feedback -- sound, smell, touch.
* Customizability vs. stability.
At present, such discussions are scattered amongst the existing comp.*
groups.
SCHEDULE:
1991-05-30: Voting closes. Second mass acknowledgement.
HOW TO VOTE:
Send mail to:
Internet: vote@mantis.co.uk
UUCP: ...!mcsun!ukc!ibmpcug!mantis!vote
Please send your mail so as to contain exactly one of the following two
quoted lines:
"I vote YES to comp.human-factors as proposed"
"I vote NO to comp.human-factors as proposed"
This is to make the votes easier to count. Conditional votes ("I vote
yes if ...") will be bounced. Votes posted to the net will be ignored.
Votes sent to me personally rather than to the address given above will
be bounced.
I do not plan to send individual acknowledgements for votes received,
since we pay by the kilobyte for international mail.
Please feel free to crosspost this call for votes into any newsgroups
which you feel are appropriate.
