New developments
The new Moodle functionalities should follow the Fluid design patterns mentioned at the design patterns page and they must be considered in Moodle's new developments.
Fluid mailing lists
It can be useful to ask Fluid community about its opinion about Moodle usability problems using Fluid mailing lists.
Moreover, it must be taken into account that there are other usability projects in the community although Moodle is not directly involved with them, such as Open Usability Season project
