Usability IRC Meeting#2

During the discussion we saw that the following things need attention:

• Menu, Book outline UI are really hard to use, and havn’t really improved over the years.
• RTL, LTR issues
• The inconsistency of “leave to default” options, for example <none> for empty block titles and leaving node date field empty to get the default timestamp.
• Field UI, specificily the Add x, Add x of...
• In context filtering, like on the permission page, roles, modules listing etc.. It’s mindblowing what we have vs. the industry
• Module page, still a major problem - perhaps icons? filters
• Orientation, its really though for a first time user to understand “what parts” there are in Drupal.
• Difficulty of changing terminology, and the disconnect between technical and user facing terminology.
• Information architecture still confusing, currently like 4 places to look for functionality.
• Inconsistency between in Drupal module categories, on d.o module categories - making them hard to pin point.
• Workflow for installing modules jarring, requires user to paste an url.
• Auto-save content
• When changing something in a long list, its hard to see which item has been effected (eg. enabling a module, moving a menu item... after pressing save).
• Improve core UI text, more actionable, consistent (more to the point, 2 lines max)
• Blocks system, draggable, replicateable, and less hard to manage overall
• Improvements to editorial workflow
• Improve the toolbar to get around easier.
