TYPO3.org Meeting (June 8/9 2007)

A meeting is scheduled on friday/saturday 8/9 june 2007 in Dusseldorf

Friday

Focus groups and interest

• What are the typo3.org user's interest. What does he look for, where does he search things
• What do they expect from the website. Are those criteria matched?
• How do we focus on N groups with ONE website? Where do we "devide" paths, how do we reach the different groups in the shortest way possible.

GOAL: Define focus groups (maybe utilizing a persona concept)

Consolidation and new page structure

• Brainstorm about a new page structure
• What will be removed

GOAL: Define a "master" pagetree based on the results of the focus group meeting.

Saturday

Current problems and responsibilities

• gather current problems (where to find stuff, what does not work, missing tools)
• remove unused stuff
• create a list of responsibilities (who manages what). Get this graph online and keep it up to date

GOAL: a streamlined list of modules and responsibilities

Roadmap/Phases/Tasks/get things done

• plan resources
• plan timings
• define teamheads
• define milestones
• get a date for the next meeting (max. 8 weeks from then)

GOAL: see above...

So we have 4 goals for 4 topics within two days.
I suggest friday evening for the portuguese dinner (but we can shift this around pretty fast if someone likes burger king better).

Info and Roadmap

In the moment it's the planning-phase for the Rebuilding TYPO3.org. See the list of things what needs improvement and the Team Summit in germany.

Hello folks,

as some might already know it is my task to get TYPO3.org to its limits in order to have all the features
running that have been working as well as a lot of new stuff to make your daily work with it more pleasant.

So I just want to inform you about the next steps that will take place as well as some administrational stuff
you should know about.

a) There will be a lot of work to do and this work will be covered by people willing to help (that's basically
you :))

b) ANY help is welcome, be it
  - HTML Templating
  - Building CSS files
  - writing PHP code
  - coming up with new ideas
  - helping me with the project management by becoming head of
    a smaller unit
  - raising sponsoring money

c) there will be no paid codelines
   The reason is simple: if I pay one person, I'd have to pay ALL
   persons. There simply isn't enough money for this.

d) Roadmap
  - Taking over TYPO3.org from a technical point of view
    (no date settled yet)
  - Brainstorming session
  - Breaking the results of the brainstorming session into smaller
    chunks which are assignable to "units".
  - Call for volunteers
  - Assign volunteers to units
  - Getting things done

So right now I'd ask for help within all skill fields.
There are only two requirements:
- Keep your promises
- Keep your timings
 
This might sound a bit harsh, but it is not intended this way.
I just want to get things done and in order to do so I need to have reliable infos on the current state of work.

So if you want to help, just post here.

peace
Mattes

Learning from others

* DEMO: administration testing login
* SCS: screenshots of the product for first orientation
* DDB: direct download button(s) of latest release
* MVD: multiple versions download page
* Bugs: bugtracker
* Blog: blogs of multiple writers
* Wiki: public accessible wiki
* Forum: public forum
* Search: Search tool covering most parts of the content with searchform on frontpage.
* Google: Google site search
* Shop: t-shirts, cups, books, DVD, etc.
* RNews: Latest news which are also available as RSS-feed

Are the features directly and prominently visible on the frontpage? (Jens Hoffmann add: As Designer I must say > LESS IS MORE! > Lets get a clean startpage!) (Elmar add: Form follows function. Usability first. It's just a tool, not a canvas.)
