So far, ±240 hours worked on Drupal UX this year. If you want to express that in moneys: at least a €20000 investment.

My first concept model

The redesign for version 2 of the essential Drupal module Views was one of my first impactful contributions. Much of the functionality is (still) over my head but somewhere in 2008, after many long conversations in IRC I arrived at a diagram that clarified a lot. I didn’t know of the term concept model then, hence the “sitemap” title.

In simple terms, you use Views to create lists of things. It lets you define what kind of thing to list, where to present it, how to format the list and how to format each item in the list.

What this concept model achieved was mapping the system objects to these simple what, where, how questions. It helped many people understand much better what this new version would be able to do.

I love to do this kind of visual clarification.

Drupal 6 release announcement

Drupal 6 release announcement

Roy 09-04-2012

Once Drupal 6 was close to release, I helped translate all the great new features and functionality into a human-readable feature list as part of the release announcement (Alas, the Drupal.org redesign broke the layout). I like to think it helped those interested in the then new version of Drupal to better understand what it was all about than by reading changelog.txt.

This exercise tought me I like to wrangle text. Since then, I’ve edited many a core and contrib user interface string to be shorter, more specific and actionable.
