UX microprojects once existed to encourage more User Experience people to participate in the Drupal Project.

Objective of this microproject:
To consider the design and functionality of the Help section of D7 and how it could be more helpful

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!

Please volunteer if you'd like to mentor on this microproject in the comments below.
Please understand that UX Volunteers are often new to the Drupal community and as such they may not be aware of work done to date.
We do and do not wish to 'reinvent the wheel' so pls take a moment to call out the relevant people/projects so that they can get familiar as soon as possible. Thank you for your help with this.

Help text has been revamped since this issue was created. Can we close it?

I think we can close this. We won't be losing anything worthwhile, since nothing was said.
