Hi, Dave

The screenshot was archaeological - a feature since removed from Sugar.

I have not used any formal social science methodology (and really don't plan to - my time at the deployments is limited and is focussed on introducing new capabilities which may be of use to the teachers and students.)

I understand that; I'm curious as to if you have worked with 'formal' user testing methods (eg https://www.usability.gov/how-to-and-tools/methods/)

    This is a feature that my experience tells me is needed.


I don't doubt that :)

    I am trying to develop a training sequence in web technology. It
    is essential for that. Since it has been implemented and this is
    open source,
    I can use it as I need it.


Sure! I'm not trying to dissuade you from running private fork features in the deployments you manage :)

I am trying to meet your needs as well as the needs of other contributors.

I presume Sebastian posted the screenshot to suggest that the user experience of this feature is not yet very good from his perspective. The large size of the dialog is surprising to me.

Since you are leading the development of this feature, since you have ready access to children with XOs, and since you are advocating the change, I think that methodological user testing can help you improve the feature for yourself, and help address the concerns of other community members :)
