[drupal-docs] How to design your Drupal site to be useful and usable

[Kieran Lal]

Hi, two weekends ago a few of us from CivicSpace Labs had the 
opportunity to attend the FLOSS usability conference.  We had a number 
of usability experts and user experience people join us to evaluate 
CivicSpace.  It wasn't pretty.

Here's the result:
http://www.flossusability.org/wiki.pl?CivicSpaceMenuLearnings and 
please click through to here:

It's a Wiki so feel free to hack away, old versions are there for me to 
retrieve.  The basic story is that after seeing our navigation system 
savaged by usability experts and generally assuming that it wasn't our 
fault I went home and sat down with the Drupal documentation and eight 
ounces of vodka.  I quickly realized the beauty that is Drupal and the 
sadness that not RTFMing brings.

I hope find it useful and feel free to make a local copy.  I would 
recommend doing a search and replace on CivicSpace with the name of 
your favorite Drupal distro and a search and replace on the term 
www.yoursite.com with http://YOURACTUALSITESURL.

I look forward to hearing your feedback and hope that we can work with 
the Drupal community to evolve this into Drupal documentation.

A lot of people contributed to this document, namely Dave Greenberg 
from CivCRM. I will add all the contributors when it reaches it's final 
form.

Cheers,
Kieran
