just wanted to confirm that UX/Usability are a priority for the next release of Drupal (Drupal7) - and that I'm working (with Mark Boulton) on a project to make it a lot more friendly to non-developers.
I was very happy/excited to hear that the IxDA have chosen Drupal :) As others have mentioned, the Drupal community are amazing, including their very small and relatively newly formed but energetic usability crew. I hope that as a part of our work over the coming months we might also be able to make the very interesting world of opensource design and usability a little more accessible, increase the focus on UX and help push forward some thinking about design processes- stay tuned for more on that! :) ________________________ Leisa Reichelt Disambiguity.com Contextual Research, User Centred Design & Social Design [email protected] +44 778 071 2129 2009/3/11 Jackson Fox <[email protected]> > I'm actually glad to hear you chose Drupal, as I just made the same > decision for our local UPA chapter's new website.
