Tackling UX design challenges
We're kicking off weekly meetings in IRC:
- Tuesdays, 21:00/9pm CET (convert to other timezone)
- Wednesdays, 09:00/9am CET (convert to other timezone)
Taking inventory of who, what & how:
People
Designers and developers of all kinds, project managers, copywriters, testers, researchers, none/all of the above: leave a comment saying how you'd like to contribute (and any of the roadblocks you encounter in trying to do so).
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.

What’s the study?
The purpose of this study is to gain insight into how non-engineering, tech-savvy users interact with the Drupal content management system when they first begin using it. We have two groups of users: the first group (February 1) will start with vanilla Drupal 7 and we will be studying their conceptual understanding of Drupal themes. The second group will start with the Drupal 7 as well as a number of modules relevant to the tasks pre-installed. For the second group (February 3), we are more interested in UX issues related to specific core/contrib module interfaces. This project aims to raise awareness of Drupal usability issues to a broader sector of the community. The sessions will be livestreamed and available for anyone to watch by using Livestream.com and a Google+ public hangout.

Improving the Sign In Registration and Account Management interactions
Hi all!
I'm new to the Drupal UX community, but not new to Drupal or User Experience Design. (I've added some info to my drupal.org profile for those interested in reading more...) I just finished speaking with yoroy about diving into Drupal UX work and the topic of Account Management came up. I mentioned how much it annoyed me and, lo and behold, it turns out that it's a pretty common pain point around here. So, I thought I'd kickoff my inaugural journey into doing UX with the Drupal Community with a discussion about Drupal's Sign In, Registration, and Account Management interactions.

Drupal 7 usability testing (Orientation + Theme)
Hello All,
I plan to conduct a usability study with new users to understand how they get oriented and use Drupal for the very first time. I know some of you had concerns about usability testing being favored toward the new users and not the existing ones. We have studies in mind for them as well :) It is just a matter of time and project management.
Here is a rough rough draft of the study. I would be very much interested in your feedback. Based of the feedback, I will go ahead and create a more robust screener and moderator's guide.
