This is a summary of a number of small issues identified during user testing on the Europe Commons site built with OpenCivic.

Visibility of deployment/effectiveness information is hard to see.

App "Creator" field could be confused as the person entering the app info.
- rename to "App creator"?
DONE

Key features description is quite technical
- reword to simplify for non-tech users.

Does "host website" need the title? This causes confusion.
- just enter the URL. Need to ensure URL wraps properly.

Org - move abbreviation down (not used much)
DONE

Can sector filtering be improved to make them easier to search/find? Search multiple options at once?
- use faceted filtering
DONE

Popups on map confusing. Dont recognise app names
- see how fields on map popups can be improved

Show apps and orgs as blocks rather than list?

Not clear how to find an existing entry for Creator field if one already exists

2nd tab questions quite technical. Might put off non-tech user
- Reorder tab content and move all technical fields to a single tab
DONE - tabs reordered

Apps: show in alphabetical order
DONE

"Binary" and "SaaS" are not clear
- Consider renaming these terms to be less technical
DONE - some improvements made.

Show top rated
- Add "top rated" view or similar

Can we compress the list of categories, sectors, etc on the edit form?
- Investigate if checkboxes can be reduced. Or number of taxonomy elements?

Icons or colours for org types
- Improve theme with colours?

Moving to postponed for now but could revisit later. Some things resolved and some probably need new tickets.
