In order to be more efficient in our approach in identifying issues, we have created a simple google spreadsheet. The intent is for everyone in the community to be able to log issues easily. Over the period of time we will be able to prioritize and solve these usability issues.
I hear you guys, this is a very 1.0 way of doing it, but at least it is a start! right?
So when you get annoyed with something, make a difference, log the issue.
Here is the google spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/a/acquia.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ai6zQDgsPhvldH...

I have to ask the obvious question why a spreadsheet and not the issue queue?
There are close to 500 open issues tagged with 'usability' (and another 500 closed)

Open + closed issues:

Yes, it is to triage the issues. I see it more as a problem area rather than a "specific" issue. Also, there are things that we would like to improve or change which may or may not be on the issue list.
Open to suggestions, that was just a thought!

So I have made some major adjustments to it, I think its wise to have this spreadsheet to give ourselves some guidance. We have a lot of stuff that can be captured in an issue, but also loads of stuff that cant. Rather than inventorying many of the minor/normal issues I suggest we focus primary on the bigger overarching issues.
