Note: replying to Commons-L as I am not on Foundation-L. Hi -- I'm one of the WMF staff programmers working on Commons Usability. And by "one of", I mean "the". ;)
Reiterating arguments I made at the Village Pump, I'd like to note on this list that in my professional opinion, this would be a step backwards for usability. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Village_pump#An_initial_notice_to_reduce_surprises If you feel that the purpose of Commons is not obvious to visitors, I suggest a tagline that appears at the top of every page. http://www.useit.com/alertbox/20010722.html My suggestion would be something like "A vast library of educational images, movies, and sounds that anyone can use or contribute to." -- Neil Kandalgaonkar ( <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ Commons-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/commons-l
