During Wikimania, me + Kaldari + Sherah did some in-person testing of a
prototype mobile Wikidata game that Sherah built during the hackathon.[1]
I've finally transcribed the notes from the testing sessions & thought it
might be useful/interesting for folks to read through the summary and raw
notes:

The tl;dr is that we've definitely got some iterating to do on the UX and
copy to make this a better, more understandable, less intimidating
experience for less experienced/non-Wikipedian users – but it was great to
get that feedback early on so we can act on it before writing any of the
live code :)
Lemme know if you have any questions – and Kaldari + Sherah, feel free to
add anything you remember from the testing :)
