Problem 1 : 2x2 meters of portal fun

Problem 2 : Researchers are not kids (most of the time)

Different user groups need different products :

• Researchers want tools• TV people want a experience• Kids want their own look• Teachers want assignments.

Problem 3 : One portal to rule them all

We promised one portal (starting point) (www.euscreen.eu) but don’t want people to have to click 6 times to reach the page/tools they prefer.

Problem 4 : Building me a house, i might tell you what i want later.

We have been asked to start building a structure in 3 years we have to put in the foundation and the clients will tell us in 6months, 12months, 18months what rooms they want and what should be inside these rooms.

solutions to the problems

Solution 1: (2x2) : A portal that only shows me what i want

Solution 2 (not kids) : My mom doesn’t change igoogle unless she makes a mistake

We have users, tuners and builders. 90% will select templates others have made. 20% might tune them and only 10% will build their own.

Solution 3 (one portal) : Design the portal to remember me or take hints.

We have users, tuners and builders. 90% will select template

Solution 4 (build me a house) : Have versions of building blocks you can pick
