Thoughts along the way:
== One ==
field is not there).
What if I don't have this link?
I tried click the + at the top of the screen. This gave me a menu that says:
Create New:
Maniphest Task
Pholio Mock
Paste
As some people already complained, I don't know what Maniphest, Pholio and
Paste are. (Come to think of it, I guess that Paste is kinda like Pastebin,
but that's because I'm a developer.)
I quite like the big "Report a Bug" button on the main screen of Bugzilla,
although I'd be the first to admit that the screen that appears after click
it is pretty awful.
== Two ==
The Create New Task screen.
First thought: It looks a lot like web-based email around 2003! :)
The above is not a bad thing. Email composition is fairly simple and common
and the design is OK.
*However*, since it is so similar to email, it's all the more confusing
when you get to the details. In email, the usual order of fields is To, Cc,
Subject, Body. The order here is Title (subject), CC (there's no "To"),
Projects (What am I supposed to write there?), Points (OK, you asked to
ignore that), Description (Body).
I can get used to it, but if it's for more general public, then you must
take into account that lots of people don't bother reading field labels and
get very confused.
== Three ==
I tried typing "MediaWiki" in projects and got an auto-completion with an
umbrella icon. "Why umbrella?", I thought. And then I got it :)
== Four ==
Another thought: I searched for the attachment icon. I found it, but I am
not sure that it would be easy to find for all users. I might be
subjective, thought, because I upload a lot of screenshots and mileage may
vary for other users.
