Yeah, so... I'm thinking we have solid quantifiable to work with this month.
For a start, there's the simple question of how well people's stated color preference correlates with the brush color they received. I've only looked at a small sample size but so far it really looks like more than coincidence.
[ Ah. He had figured that Zee's post on the first would come into play. It's not terribly surprising, but still worth tracking. The more they can learn about Retrospec the better. ]
Is this based off self-reports or what you've seen first hand?
Some of each. Some second-hand based on the color changes in of network text.
We'll need a lot more data. I've got ideas for effective ways to collect it but I don't have the statistics background to perform a really solid data analysis.
I'm working with John Egbert right now. He's organizing a volunteer effort for repainting the city. He has a lot of people on board. Right now we're working on dividing the city into a grid, identifying high priority areas, and assigning people efficiently. Asking volunteers to report their brush colors just makes sense, particularly if we have color theory data to work with later.
Ideally, ongoing throughout the month. We'll only be able to make use of the data if, or when, colors start appearing. Then it's a question of what activates them and how they can be manipulated and controlled.
Having some preliminary data already on hand when that happens would help, though. In designing experiments and putting together strategies.
That's a decent scope. If it's alright with you, I'd like to meet with John Egbert and yourself in person. There might be other details that are worth collecting in addition to color.

at his biddingassembled and ready to go? He would be an idiot to turn his nose up at this. ]Yes. It sounds like you already have a good start. What's your window for data collection? A day, until this weekend?
