I talked to Dr. Abowd about using his paper for Wikipedia and that it would entail a change of Copyright:


That's fine.

I tried to find a freely downloadable paper by either of them on the  subject.  
Bonnie uses the ACM portal, and her papers are not among  the free ones.  
Wayne's seem to be similarly unavailable.
This is the paper in question:
http://www.cc.gatech.edu/classes/cs6751_97_fall/projects/closet2000+/FinalEssays/goms.html
It would appear to be part of your curriculum.  
I would like to use  this paper as it is a simplified overview of the GOMS varieties.  
Separate articles would handle the detailed descriptions.
Sorry to take you time, I appreciate it.

I am not sure what you mean by "my final essay" on the topic.  
If I  were you, I would go to a GOMS source, such as Wayne Gray or Bonnie  John.

Dear Dr. Abowd
    The Wikipedia page is quite bare on the subject of Goms.  
I  was  wondering if I could place your Final Essay - GOMS Analysis   Techniques on Wikipedia.  
This would entail putting it under the   GFDL, a copyleft license from the Gnu organization.

The wikipedia  page  explaining their copyright circumstances.

Thank you

Please note I obfusciated his email link by replacing the "at" symbol with **obfuscated email link**

I am not sure why that box is showing up...

This was a rather big edit, and I am sure I missed a changing self references and various other minor grammarical errors. Someone please check it.

I do know that the references/external links is screwed up. How do I refer to the original source now?
