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.

Drupal UX meeting format is evolving
In-place configuration for Drupal - Inside-out approach
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!).
Reinventing Drupal’s User Experience process

The Drupal core product needs to become more engaging and useful right out of the box. Usability testing has shown why. Here, we want to look at how we can change our process to be more efficient and effective.

Discussion

We have IRC meetings twice a week for more structured discussion and planning:

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
Read moreAnother 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).
