UX miniprojects are here to encourage more User Experience people to participate in the Drupal Project.
Objective of this microproject:
To consider the design and functionality of a widget for the dashboard that would show recently received comments and include the ability to act on them (approve, spam, delete etc.)
There is a corresponding Project Framework page for this element on D7UX.org here
Next steps:
- Post any information that's helpful for a newcomer to Drupal who will be addressing the UX aspects of this issue. Sceenshots are probably best, a demo site would be great.
- Leave a comment if you would like to volunteer as a DEVELOPER or USABILITY mentor for this issue.
- The UX Volunteer for this project is free to choose the channels and media to work in, but will use this issue to report their findings for review and feedback.
- Drop by in #drupal-usability in IRC and talk to Leisa or yoroy if you have questions or feedback on this process, this is a trial so any input on how to improve is appreciated.
Note that we do not expect the output of every microproject to be implemented or implementable. Any usability gains from this process are a boon to D7, but getting more UX people into the Drupal community and finding ways for them to work more effectively with developers are our core goals.
And please, play nice. The issue queue can be quite intimidating for newcomers so let's try to be extra welcoming here.
Go!
