ok. here’s the theory
Leisa Reichelt:15:36:49
drupal documentation is essentially like wikipedia
Leisa Reichelt:15:36:53

which we want to avoid

Drupal.org redesign - Cardsorting Module Categories
If you’ve been following along you’d be aware that one of the nuts we’re currently trying to crack is the modules section of the drupal.org website - how can we make modules more findable?

As you may have read, we’ll be doing some usability testing on the 6th iteration of the Drupal.org prototype in London next week. It seems like a great time to also kick off some crowdsourced usability testing, as we’d talked about earlier, and for any of you who’d like to get involved to do so!

Drupal.org redesign - Participate in Usability Testing in London!
You’re going to be hearing more and more about usability testing in the coming weeks! As you know, we’ve been including Drupal.org users in the redesign process from before the first wireframe was sketched, and we continue to include both ‘insiders’ and ‘outsiders’ in the process - currently in the form of usability testing the [...]

Drupal.org - Crowdsourcing Usability Testing - Get Involved!
Another day, another way to be involved in the Drupal.org redesign project, and this one’s a little different - but I think it’s going to be great fun!
Here’s what we’re going to do.
I’m going to be doing some remote usability testing using screen sharing and screen recording software that I’ll share back with all of [...]
