Tackling UX design challenges


We're kicking off weekly meetings in IRC:


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.

Hi Usability Group members !

I wish to get your help regarding a contrib project (and potentially a DDD Milan presentation).

Context:
I wish to explore what Dries usually calls Outside-In approach (I tend to rather like in-place administration as a name but OK!).

Current UX work

Format of meetings:

Mix of 1 large focus topic and any quick wins (not necessarily related to the larger topic) that help us book success. Possible topics:

  • Visual hierarchy
  • Migrate UI
  • Example content

Need to create an asset library

There are no up to date PSD/Sketch/… files readily available. Would be good to have those.

  • Place to share design assets
  • Have reference files that document the standards
  • Research ways to organize this setup. google drive maybe?

High level overview

Another Usability Study in Twin Cities this Year?

We've begun planning for Twin Cities Drupal Camp this year and are interested in knowing whether or not there is interest in another Usability Study at the University of Minnesota. This year, we are actually having our camp on the University of MN campus.

I've heard that their summer schedule is filling up, so we need to get on their calendar now, if we want access to their lab. (NOTE: We have not yet confirmed anything with them yet. So even if they have time available, we still need to put in a request).
