GHC11 included an open source hackathon on Saturday, and I was lucky enough to find some great people who spent the day helping with usability testing and interface mockups for Mailman.

We focused a bunch on the admin interfaces, which (unlike the archives and the member options pages) haven't been particularly usability tested before, and poked through using the first roughs for Mailman 3.0 (Thanks again for letting us abuse your server, Florian!). I've got a huge pile of notes and a suitcase filled with big paper prototypes, like the one Mel's working on in this photo:

Over the next week or so I'll be digitizing what we produced in the form of photos, ui mockups and notes on the wiki.

If anyone's interested in helping with the UI work, I could use some help! This is a great place to start if you've always wanted to help but weren't sure what to do or were worried your python skills weren't up to snuff. I should have the photos of the paper prototypes up Monday evening (I'm on US Mountain time) and I'd love some help translating the photos into UI mockups (either on the wiki or semi-functional HTML/JavaScript prototypes) to start.
