I'm a usability specialist investigating analysis and design of multi-user interaction. My doctoral work centered around using discourse analysis techniques to understand design requirements for groupware. I am currently employed helping to design a complex versioning/building/testing system.
In my spare time, I write science fiction; my novel Duplicate is available as an eBook, paperback, or hardcover. Yes, there's a fair amount of User Experience in it. ;)
My statements on these websites are not official statements from any employer of mine.

Is voice over to re-enforce text a good idea? Being screenreader friendly is great, and may not suffice to serve the needs of all your users. Many users simply process text better than audio and would like the subtitles, even if they are not equipped with a screenreader or other assistive technology. |

How should I determine where to place an application version number? +1 for understanding your user. Why do they need this number? Do they only use it when deciding to upgrade? Then put it on the upgrade path. Do they also need it for reporting bugs? Put it there also. |

Data and State management in UI This one is more of an implementation concern and you may not find the right experts on this site. Perhaps ask on stackoverflow.com where there are more people who are good at application development, rather than UX? |
