Issue Summary

Chris Messina's (aka Factory Joe) review of drupal 6 is a big contribution to drupal usability. I have highlighted about 50 actionable issues that have been raised and/or discussed through this review. Most of them are trivial changes for drupal 6, but are key usability improvements. Many are simply improving the help text. Some are larger tasks that require more work and changes and should probably wait for drupal 7. (They can still have d.o issue nodes created so they aren't lost and forgotten.)

Unfortunately I can't afford any more time on this myself this month (I have to make some money too, to be able to afford to contribute!). I hope others can choose a few @TODO's on the review discussion page and;

I'll do my best to review all submitted usability patches!

#1

I cross-posted to drupal planet from my blog and in the usability group.

#2

That page is getting quite unwieldy, so I went through and put 'committed' next to patches that have already got in and <del> tags around the discussions related to already committed patches. So hopefully now we have a better idea what we're dealing with.

#3

Thanks Catch. That makes it easier to read the page.
