How to help improving TWikis usability

There are plenty of things you can do to help us improving TWikis Usability...

1. File TWikiFeatureProposals for things that you believe need improvement. Don't worry if you can't implement it by yourself - if the your proposal is striking a developer might pick it up.
   
   
2. Add your story to the "Real life examples" chapter and tell us what you did to improve TWikis usability.
   
   
3. Join usability related disscussions and topics (see tag cloud) in codev land and elsewhere and express your needs and wants for TWikis future
   
   
4. Join the TWikiMarketing community. This is the place where twiki.org related usability issues like Website layout and design take place
   
   
5. check out TWikiOrgRenewalWorks and TWikiOrgRenewalWorks2008ToDo if you'd like to help us on making live in TWiki-Land easier.
