Help Improve the Drupal User Interface
Every spotted some little niggle when using or administering a Drupal site? Some specific thing that is hard to figure out, or takes two clicks where it should take one?
Dries has had an excellent idea for documenting these UI niggles on Flickr, where a screenshot can be annotated, describing exactly what the problem is.
This is someone anyone can do - and yes, even non-coders :)
There is even a Drupal 5.0 (CVS) site up at that you can use for your screenshots.
Here is how it works:
- Create a Flickr account. It's free.
- Take a screenshot of a Drupal (administration) page and tag it with the keyword
drupalui(which stands for 'Drupal user interface'). It's important to use thedrupaluitag as that is the tag we'll use to pick up your feedback.- Annotate the screenshot by adding notes: use the notes to explain
what you would do differently, what confuses you, what can be explained
better, what is missing, etc.An overview of all the annotated screenshots tagged with
drupaluican be found here:As you can see, I submitted one example screenshot and annotated it with two notes:
- http://flickr.com/photos/dries/233551753/ (move your mouse over the screenshot to see the notes)
So start annotating Drupal screenshots on Flickr, and we'll try our best to include your feedback in Drupal 5.0.0.
