+1 Madison I started started doing some user research with a few other designers. We're looking for patterns and pain points around adoption and use of SystemML. We'd love to share our findings so far to continue this discussion and get thoughts and feedback from everyone. I think clear tutorials and site architecture will help address some of the concerns we're hearing and could improve adoption. I love the idea of generating more articles and content on Stack Overflow. All of this would be really helpful in increasing awareness and building community.
We're synthesizing our research so far and we'll share it here. Thanks for starting this thread! Jeremy ...........................
