Thanks to the Portland UI-SIG, http://www.portlandusability.com/, we have some ideas for how to improve the initial usage of Drupal, things like setting up the theme and posting content.
The notes are at http://drupal.org/node/126143. Skip straight to the "Creating the first account" heading to see some suggestions that could be built into patches.
In content creation:
# Required field indication doesn't obviously indicate its meaning. # "Submit page" isn't the best title, "Create page" or "Create new page" might be better options.
These two have been noted in quite a few usability reviews (including the one I wrote up). The first one is such a trivial change. How many 'experts' saying 'this could be improved' does it take until a patch gets committed.
Is there a patch? If yes, you should add links to this discussion and the relevant documents to its issue.
I tried over at http://drupal.org/node/83857 The problem is that there are a few ways of actually accomplishing making required fields looks required and all of them can be supported by some resource on the internet: - Simply use a '*' as we do now - '* required' - '* required' for the first, '*' for the others - '* means required' at the top and/or bottom. -- Neil Drumm http://delocalizedham.com
