[Plone-UI] Plone UI Survey

[Dylan Jay]

So far it seems the following are the top issues

For Editors
--------------
- no clear how to have content in two places at once
- Not obvious how to edit/publish folder when it has a default page
- no out of the box way to include listings/rich content/repeated content into the text of a page
- Can't add/edit and publish in one action

For Site Admins
---------------------
- confusion between names of roles in sharing vs users configlet
- It's not easy to know when my Plone site has become out of date or vulnerable
- group portlets hard to find

For themers/integrators
-------------------------------
- Not obvious how to discover and install plugins
- hard to discover or share themes

Disagree?

Thousands of lines of Plone code has been written since and everyday I see new collective plugins being created but most aren't addressing some of the hard problems affecting those who use Plone. Plone's PLIP process works well for code that's already been written or easy to tackle problems (often technical) but isn't so good as a process for brainstorming ideas to hard problems. The FWT often doesn't have the broad end-user experience to know if the problem being solved is important or not. They look to us, the UI for that guidance.
