21 21  You can contribute and help us [[report>>Community.Contributing#HTesting]] issues within XWiki. There are several tags that can be added to a [[JIRA>>http://jira.xwiki.org/]] issue in order to mark it important from an user experience point of view: ##ux##, ##usability##, ##consistency##, ##standard##, ##accessibility##.
22 22  Initially these issues were marked using the '##keywords##' field, but now this field is deprecated in favor of '##Labels##' field.

49 49  * Usability issues refer exclusively to interface/front-end issues, since only these issues affect the end-user directly.
50 50  * The generic definition of an usability issue is if it is preventing the user from completing a task. This means the functionality is not usable and thus useless.
51 51  * Improvements on a specific functionality are also considered usability issues if implementing that functionality will provide an obvious benefit to the user by making things clearer, easier to use, improving learnability, improving the way the user interacts with the system, boosting productivity etc.
