[Bioclusters] usability questionnaire for a biology web application

[Isabelle bonbon]

Hi, 
I am looking for people who use or could use protein
tools (ex : fasta), nucleic tools or alignement tools.

 
The purpose is to work on the design of the workbench
application (http://workbench.sdsc.edu/), and the
first thing to do is to catch the user requirement. 
 
If you have some interest in protein, nucleic or
alignement research, and a few minutes available,
could you please answer the following questionnary ?
 
Thanks for your time and help, 
 
Isabelle, 
Software engineering student.
