Thanks. That's the first thing I want to say. Between here, the CiviCRM wiki, the CiviCRM forums and the CiviCRM blog, all the comments and feedback have been wonderful. It's been great engaging the community and I hope this is the start and not the end.

Thanks to some peer reviews and all the feedback I continue to receive, I have spent the last week trying to begin the documentation process. Quick, define aethetics... how about usability? *crickets chirping*

These can be very personal things and it can be hard as an organization to define standards and be firm about them. So, I have been researching aethetics and usability. I've been also trying to ensure I document everything in a logical fashion. This will make the changes I implement easier and make it easier for future development to follow.

To that end, so far so good. The wiki has a solid framework that I will work on fleshing out through this week. By the end of the weekend, I hope to have the standards largely done. Or at least in place and ready to be audited and adapted as needed.

My project this summer will then shift its focus to working on the navigation within CiviCRM and the home page look. I'll hopefully be doing some mockups and identifying issues with usability and aesthetics as able.

Comments, suggestions and feedback are greatly appreciated. Oh, and finding things like this on a List Apart this week is so wonderful.
