+# User Experience Meta Document
+_Pre-Draft_
+
+## 1. Summary
+
+This specification provides common guidelines for people involved in Joomla User Experience (UX) decisions.
+
+It introduces principles and metrics to enable discussion about and measurement of User Experience.
+
+This guidance is intended to be generic and therefore not defining specific workflows or designs for the CMS or other
+Joomla projects.
+
+## 2. Why Bother?
+
+When training users to work with their Joomla website, we often see new users struggling with the user interface. We get
+feedback that some click paths are not intuitive or that there are too many options and options that are difficult to
+understand.
+
+Over the years there have been a number of teams, groups and individuals in the Joomla project who have tried to improve
+the User Experience but failed to reach a long term agreement on the level of User Experience that Joomla wants to
+implement. They often got lost in details about the size, position and colour of buttons because of a lack of
+appropriate signposts.
+
+A specification of
+
+* the interaction principles to be considered and
+* the metrics with which they can be quantified
+
+helps stakeholders to focus on what is essential. This enables the  project to make a measurable and thus real progress
+in terms of User Experience.
+
+This specification supports [the mission and the key value "Usability"][Mission, Vision & Values] of the Joomla project.
+
+[Mission, Vision & Values]: https://www.joomla.org/about-joomla/the-project/mission-vision-and-values.html
