By capturing the current level of ease of use of the current product or website, a reference point is created that can be measured against in the future. It doesn't answer the question of how usable is enough, but if the benchmark is done properly, it does enable someone to set goals and expectations around ease of use for the future.

Government denounces conspiracy (Nov 04 2003 23:16 GMT) - While the prevalent theory is that the Venezuelan Government does not believe the opposition will be capable of gathering the required signatures, evidence points otherwise. If the Government was so sure of this it would not be pressing to approve the Supreme Court bill, which would increase the number of Justices in the Court from 20 to 30, it would not be eliminating the First administrative Court, considered to be the most serious Court in the country, but most importantly, it would not make the type of accusations it did today when it accused the opposition of conspiring to overthrow the Government. The "evidence" of this conspiracy is an illegally obtained wiretap of a conversation between the Head of the Confederation of Unions Carlos Ortega, who is in exile, and his alternate Manuel Cova. In it, Cova and Ortega discuss a range of topics including an alternate plan "B" in case the Government blocks the possibility of the recall referendum and mention the possible rebellion by the people if this were to happen. They then discuss the dangers that such a rebellion may be followed by a dictatorship. |
