I don't want to plan these testing sessions in detail now but to give
some first rough ideas, I think we need:

  - 10 to 20 people both unfamiliar and familiar with the current design
  - have people involved in the design and people not involved in the
    design process when doing these tests


The calendar mostly depends on when we believe we can have something
ready to test (either good paper prototypes, either with code), then
find availability for some of us to be there, travel, etc.

I disagree with that. We surely have to do all the thought experiments
that we can but they will never replace real user testing.
