Improving useability

Below are references to modules that can help to simplify the user interface, making it easier for non techies to edit or add content.

Vertical Tabs rearranges the (many) sections of the content add form into tabs, making it more compact.

Simplify Node add: allows sections of the Node Edit/Add form to be hidden. For example perhaps your normal content editors don't change the url, revision, comment and publishing options. So these hide these sections making it simpler and easier to understand.

• Only sections added by core modules are supported at the moment (v1.1), but its easy to change the module to hide more, see #718828 (and the recent dev release).
• It would be nice to hide section on a per role basis, see #718820

String Overrides: allows standard text to be changes, e.g. if "My Settings" would be easier to understand than "My Account"

Bookmarks: can allow the user to mark what is interesting on the site (specific pages, comments, forums..).
