Hi everyone,
I'm looking and putting together an initiative that will look into the user experience of administrating a Drupal site through a non-desktop PC.
I see this going through several stages.
- Heuristics
- Analysis
- Scope
- Design
- Development
Heuristics
We should up with a list of objectives and a context which we analyse against. Not just which devices we test with but how we define a good user experience on a device, these could differ from a desktop experience or be defined differently.
eg:
- Speed
- Touch Friendly
- Tab Friendly
- Contrast
- Navigation
- Flexibility
- Readability
Analysis
Assignment of user paths to analyse, devices and context become important here, as we are limited by the diversity of the volunteers!
This would be where we outline any global or specific experience problems with Drupal's backend.
Scope
Some problems might be solvable within the 'Seven' theme, some might require a completely seperate 'Mobile Seven' theme and be better suited to a contrib project. There is only so far we can take core.
After that it becomes pretty self explanitory
This is just a rough plan about how we could go about improving Drupal's MUX. Please feel free to tear this apart and add to it.
