Taking inventory of who, what & how:

Priorities
See https://www.drupal.org/node/2497361 for a list of usability issues identified in Drupal 8.
- Where can we start?
- Is there a useful sequence to work through?
- How do we decide on that?
Process
Core issue about possible process for big UX changes: https://www.drupal.org/node/2573119
On a more ongoing basis: figure out how to keep aligned on current work and next steps.

Inconsistent drop-menu activation
Is there a standard for keyboard activation of drop-down menus? We are using multiple drop-down menus from various sources which behave differently from one another. Technically speaking, each individual jump menu is WCAG 2.0 AA accessible because it can be navigated keyboard-only, but the technique for opening the menu varies from menu to menu.
I can't imagine that to be a pleasant experience for site visitors, but I also can't seem to find documentation from an authoritative source for a standard menu-open behavior that could (theoretically) be applied across all drop-down menus.
Is there a standard? Where is it documented? If there is no standard, is there a way to force a single behavior across incompatible drop-downs or else enable forgiving actions? If not, is there a reasonable way, e.g., through appropriate ARIA labeling, to communicate the correct way to access a particular drop-down menu without forcing the site visitor to figure it out for themselves?
I despair of keyboard-only visitors being able to achieve mastery of drop-down menus on websites.

Simplenews - Protect button from wrong click.
Simplenews "Send" button can be easily activated without confirm, sending wrong newsletter by mistake.
I'm proposing to implement some kind of protection.
More feedback is welcome at

Providing an explicit "This image is decorative and provides no information not already in the text" checkbox to blank out alt text
It's essentially undocumented on the web and in Drupal that a content editor who uploads an image can make a required alt text produce an empty alt tag with "" in the alt text field.
I think it would be a much better editor experience to have a checkbox: "This image is decorative and provides no information not already present in text."
This would then produce the empty alt tag for them.
It would also help people learn about the purpose of alt text (and maybe make us think more about using images that do provide some value).
