** How much user-memory change will this require? Will I, as a user, have to learn all new places for buttons/menus/links? Is this going to alter the sequence of tabbing for keyboard users? Does it shift the "I don't even look/read text, because I know where the button is positioned" clicks from a positive (save changes) to a negative (delete everything in the world MWAHA)?
** How will notifications of changes be made? THIS IS A RANT, SORRY. One of the things that gave me wrath about LJ many years ago was the yellow-bar of "changes coming" that only appeared on the livejournal.com home page. A page that I visited less than five times in ten years of LJ use. I neeeeeeeever saw that page. I raaaaaarely see the DW home page (and when I do, it's entirely on accident and takes a minute to figure out how I got there). I arrive on the site via a bookmark to my reading list. If, by some reason, I'm on a computer that doesn't have my cookied-login, I either A. hit my journal and log in via the navbar or B. go straight to the login.bml page. If changes are coming to $TheSite, put notice of that change everywhere possible.
I may think of more later, but these are my biggest bugaboos. (Ivy, with hints of Lisa, apparently.)
