[RQC-interest] Review Quality Collector Alpha Testing invitation (2)

["Lutz Prechelt" <prechelt@inf.fu-berlin.de>]

Dear all,

for all those of you who have tried to access RQC but
could not: There was a firewall issue on my side.
This is now resolved, please try again.

And for everybody else:
Try out the sandbox mode; creating your own little
conference and seeing the resulting receipts is fun!

One more hint: 
- Decide which reviewer has reviewed how well,
  so that the grading and the results really make
  (pseudo-)sense.

Everything else as described below, except that
the default entry URL is now

https://reviewqualitycollector.org

Eagerly awaiting your feedback until Thursday,

  Lutz

Dear all,

finally, RQC is becoming real.

There is now an implementation that provides the RQC service
for conferences that use Easychair as their manuscript handling
system (which most of them do).
It has many small imperfections, but is otherwise
ready to go I think.

To find out more about this, I invite you, as members of the
rqc-interest mailing list, to a closed-group alpha test
(please do not tell any outsiders about the system yet):
If you would like to see review quality collecting in action,
use the sandbox mode to run an RQC process with artificial data.
A trial will take you about 1 hour and can be done in pieces.

Just read the text provided by the system and do the steps
as explained there:

http://www.reviewqualitycollector.org

Some hints:
- Cut down the RQdef template a bit to simplify the grading handling
- Set a really short timeframe (such as 20 minutes) in the very near future
- For your own thought clarity, use your default browser for the 
  reviewer roles and a second browser for the organizer role with
  registration and login. (Reviewers need no account.)
- Feel free to leave in the system any nonsense you like,
  sandbox conferences all get deleted eventually.

I think RQCing has become a fairly smooth process but
I'd be very happy to receive, within 8 days, feedback from you
on anything you could not understand, did not like, 
or that does not appear to work correctly.

RQC will go live on September 1st.

Hooray!

  Lutz
