Good stuff, overall. :-)

Re: slide 30 - "Do analysis on all the uses of the star icon (watch list) and bookmark icon in a systematic way, considering all the uses of each" There was a brief mention of this in May Galloway's Wikimania2014 presentation https://wikimania2014.wikimedia.org/wiki/Submissions/User_interface:_Consistency,_consistency,_consistency%21. See this slide: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1VYGOLDKQ4Sntv9UgkH34KUk_FyjAaUvc1eio... I think there was also a related page on mw.o but I can't find it. I would strongly caution against using the 5 pointed star icon for yet another meaning (especially as it is so prominently used in both Chrome/Firefox interfaces as a plain browser-bookmark, and prominently within wikis as the add-to-watchlist link.) The "downward arrow (towards a horizontal line, or from a cloud)" seem to be somewhat common alternative: https://www.google.ca/search?q=offline+save+icon&tbm=isch - I'd recommend the former.

Re: slide 42 - "Currently the Android" [the sentence cuts off there].

Thanks for sharing!

Hi Everybody!

Here https://docs.google.com/a/wikimedia.org/presentation/d/15S6T_nZFatNp7tF3Hq9t6D6pD57peNlLskYZq-Js1IE/edit?usp=sharing is the report for this study, where we tested three (online to offline) ideas with a set of users we could reach from here in SF.

Please check it out, and respond here with any questions, thoughts, interesting info that could inform our thinking further, etc. A few things to note:

• The feedback in this report has already been incorporated into the

prototypes, where needed for our next round of research. (Thanks reading web team!)

• We will continue the testing in India because it is MUCH easier to

reach our target users there.

• We will build on the set of learnings in this report with the

outcomes of the research in India.

• The recruit for research in India is starting now, and testing will

begin within a week or so.

• We will upload this to commons and can post it in the next update

More to follow!
