The use of the term "not willing" should be removed. As an area chair this implied I ought not assign a paper to someone I knew to be a good fit, because they had said they were "not willing" to review it. There must be a better term that would make such an assignment less awkward. |
| 2 | Jun 10, 2010 11:11 PM | I found the interface awkward in many places, because (a) there was some next step to do and it was buried or (b) because the information needed wasn't presented coherently. |
| 3 | Jun 11, 2010 2:35 AM | inviting reviewers was difficult, just like assigning reviewers to papers. in general, the system was quite slow, in some case loading long lists of names that could be avoided. (I forgot most of the issues, and the specifics, but there were definitely issues). Also, I am using Firefox and some functionality did not work on it. |
| 4 | Jun 11, 2010 1:09 PM | Although this may be a hardware issue, the system is far too slow to be acceptable - the user has to wait for very long periods after entering information. The user interface does not very well support the natural work-flow of a reviewer/area chair. |
| 5 | Jun 11, 2010 1:11 PM | Direct access to papers and their reviews,
better reviewer assignment procedure,
"save" isn't always clear: to which entry does it refer? Has the decision been saved or not? |
| 6 | Jun 11, 2010 2:21 PM | The user interface could be improved further.
Many links to click on, not always obvious where to find information, annoying pop-up windows that suddenly disappear because the mouse pointer accidentally went out of the window when you moved to a link to click on it, ... It's been improving over the years but it's still by far the worst interface among all the conference systems I've used in the past. |
