There are more interface patterns available to Drupal module developers then ever before. Drupal has standars for writing code. But what about the interface?
Tabs, accordions, fieldsets, overlays, hover links etc. When to use which?
Join Bojhan Somers and Roy Scholten from the UX-Team for a tour of the available options and some advice on when to use each one. Consider this talk the kick-off for getting our ui-pattern library in shape. It's been asked for a lot.
.... that one day, in addition to screenshots of the UI, we will also be able to reference video clips of usability testing for any UX related issue in the issue queue. Showing both evidence of people experiencing the problem and why they are having that problem and also video clips showing the proposed design solution being tested and demonstrating that the design does in fact work.
If there is one thing that can get design and UX discussions out from behind the bikeshed, it is a shed load of usability testing.
How the current initiatives have opened the doors for a better design process for Drupal 8. While our modules become more abstract and empowers more users, we will need new ways of tackling complex interface issues.
We will tackle the following topics :
Designing Drupal 8
Embracing design chaos
Untouched interfaces such as Fields UI, Installation profiles
