[Building Sakai] Sakai OAE Usability Testing Package 1

[Clay Fenlason]

I'm very happy to see this, Anne-Sophie, thank you. I know it's early
days, and there will be any number of ways people will want to improve
this practice as time goes on, but just setting the precedent seems to
me a significant step, and not only for the released product. We don't
have many UX professionals on staff (I think most Sakai institutions
are in the same boat), and if the Sakai community helps us learn how
to do this sort of work well it will be yet another advantage for our
participation.
