As the decision to allow for creation of the role of 'user |
| 6 |
representative' is rather new the definition is not one which has been |
| 7 |
set in stone just yet. However, I will try to answer your question, |
| 8 |
since the user relations project is intended to act as a bridge between |
| 9 |
developers and users, it is important that we do not let our assumptions |
| 10 |
as developers get in the way of communications with users. Many users |
| 11 |
may be unfamiliar with concepts or terminology that to a developer seems |
| 12 |
commonplace and easy to understand. The 'user representatives' are |
| 13 |
intended as a way to get feedback from non-developers on such things, |
| 14 |
for example to ensure that a survey is written in such a way as to be |
| 15 |
comprehensible to users before it is sent out. The role is intended as a |
| 16 |
way to get reliable input from non-developers in order to ensure that |
| 17 |
what we do has the maximum benefit for users and developers alike. |

The role description is subject to change as we are currently trying to |
| 20 |
fine tune it (you caught us a bit too soon!), when the role has been |
| 21 |
properly defined I will send the description out to this list as well as |
| 22 |
including it on the User Relations page. |
