Usability

Hi, I'm new here so if I'm posting this in the wrong place, let me know.

I'm accustomed to Wordpress and I find it difficult to deal with Drupal because Wordpress does a lot of the "automatic" work for me so I don't have to. And that's how it should be.

The BIGGEST issue I have right now (after having played with the development version of Drupal 7 the past hour) is the awful URL's. Seriously, they are awful for any serious SEO (even the clean URL's)...so I have to manually add an alias everytime I make a blog post, a page, etc, etc.

We know that Drupal requires that menu entries have actual paths that exist, but that it deletes the menu entry if you change the path is a real problem. I have a client who has now deleted his menus three times because he changed the alias to it. He couldn't figure out what was causing it, and didn't wait to get an answer from me, so kept causing it to happen, because he kept changing the path.

I know that it's too late to ask for things in D7, but I'm curious if this condition still exists. And this experience has motivated me to try and get involved in usability.

We would like a "quick" way to change a user's "Status" from "Blocked" to "Active." Right now it takes about 3-4 clicks, and then save the User edit form after selecting the "Active" radio button.

When there are dozens of users, this can be tedious. The website client doesn't want users to be "Active" until after careful review...

We want to hire a Project Supervisor (the Super) to oversee all aspects of construction of our Project. The Super will be responsible for the Projects development, quality and completion on time and on budget.

Project Supervisor Job Description and Duties
We are looking for the Supervisor with experience in large projects; he/she must have superior knowledge of Drupal and database driven sites, and experience managing several Drupal development teams.

Following the suggestion at Accessibility improvements for vertical tabs here's a page to collect some of the scattered information on keyboard navigation.

Fellow Media Moguls,

We're shaking off the dust from the Media module, which was sadly neglected during the heady Summer of Code, where we got Stream Wrappers into core! I'm excited to meet now with my fellow Drupalistas, and get the module presentable for Drupal 7 (and Drupal 6, if anyone is interested in helping on that front).

This is a HOT page, hot topics. Please edit and add topics.

Eigentor & I prepared this after chatting with Bojhan and Yoroy. All are invited to submit suggestions.

Drupal 7 is at a critical stage and requires user testing. This page is to help prepare a demo-site to make it easy for new user-testers to join in, and make a significant contribution to Drupal development. This will ensure that pivotal patches get the user testing they need, and that we don't trod old ground and waste time.

Mike Gifford (mgifford) and Everett Zufelt are addressing a major accessibility issue for the administration interface of Drupal 7. If they had help from someone with JQuery skills, they could make significant progress. If you think you can help, check out http://drupal.org/node/467296.

This module adds a "delete" MENU_LOCAL_TASK to all nodes and removes "delete" button from all node forms. While this module is very simple and may not seem important for a developer, it does provide a significant improvement for content publishers/maintainers, especially to those who are new to Drupal.

Please leave your feedback.

Also, can I submit it as a contributed module?
