[Sigia-l] Card sorting

[Donna Maurer]

My definition ;) I haven't written a grand definition of card sorting - maybe I should...

In my definition, there must be:
- a goal (ie you're doing it to find out something)
- user involvement (ie, not just the design team)
- creating groups out of something (usually content, sometimes topics) - it isn't really 
sorting at all - sorting can be into a sequence and we want people to group stuff

It doesn't need to use index cards - online sorting tools don't ;)
