Steven Pemberton
Arjen had a short (no more than 5-minute) chat with Steven Pemberton (W3C member, chair of XHTML e.g.).
First, Steven said the W3C intranet exists of three parts:
- public
- members
- teams
(he did not think we could get data from "teams").
W.r.t. tasks, the first three things that came to his mind when thinking about searching in this data were
- When was decision X taken?
- What were the arguments for this decision?
- Where is the email that stated Y.
Notice that he never searches the emails for an unknown item (so not an adhoc task), but always for the specific email that exists because he knows somebody stated Y (a known-item task, just like Nick said!).
Steven is willing to reflect on what we come up with as task definition, and also to help define realistic searches.
