uPortal UX documentation

[Colin Clark]

A meeting to talk about heuristic analysis sounds like a great idea. I 
think we should also consider including accessibility heuristics in our 
reports; I'd love to have Mike and Clayton's advice on this.

I'm fairly available over the next couple of weeks. Do you want to 
suggest a date and time?
