Jeffrey Veen complained about the usability of open source CMS systems like Drupal over on his blog. Dries made a generous offer of 4 free hours of his time implementing suggestions for every hour that Jeffrey's firm, Adaptive Path, donates to making suggestions to improve Drupal's usability. And Bryght of course will donate a free Bryght site for Jeffrey to play around in and experiment as Boris commented.

I'd be happy to cut Jeffrey Veen a deal if Drupal is more or less what he is looking for.

Jeffrey, here is your chance to help make a better open source CMS:

For each hour you or your company Adaptive Path spend reviewing Drupal 4.5.0's usability (free of charge), I spend 4 hours implementing your suggestions (free of charge). The review should be public, and the Drupal community should be behind the proposed changes. If you don't feel like setting up a Drupal site yourself, I'll set one up for you.

I'm pretty sure we can't afford to hire Adaptive Path, but this is something we can do and something that can make a difference. Other Drupal developers might be willing to cut a similar deal to make this offer more interesting.
