Might I suggest an emphasis on *usability* testing?
Put users in a room, ask them to perform common tasks, and have people with clipboards take note of how many attempts it takes them to accomplish those tasks. This is the only real way to determine whether a tool is truly working as well as it could.

Where are these proto designs? Is there a link I can follow to look at them? I'm excited to be on the mailing list now. As someone who works in UX and is currently doing a massive redesign project, it'll be cool to see how reddit approaches this.
