Hi folks,
as have been discussed on a few other lists, there is an ogoing
thought/idea of creating a project to handle graphics and user
experience aspects of projects where the projects themselves either fall
short, where pooling human resources and policies may make sense, and
where the broader foundation level items can be worked on.
To this end, I'm soliciting input from fellow Apache people as well as
anyone else interested in perchance joining in. This discussion is
three-fold, as I'd love for us to figure out the following:
- Willingness / body count: How many people would be interested in
putting in actual work here, how many would be interested in this from a
more managerial point of view, and can we get sufficient ASF membership
oversight to possibly aim for a straight-to-TLP here.
- Scope/tasks: What sort of ideas do people have for the scope and
mission of such a project. Solely graphics/logos/webdesign/photos, or do
we dare expand that a little, and if so, what needs to be added? Do we
want to segue a little bit into publishing guides and best practices for
documentation and what not? I suspect this will ultimately be a matter
of finding the scope with the largest support.
- (non-hostile) Takeovers: Are there existing problems/challenges within
projects or the foundation we can already identify and work on possibly
putting into this project? This could be anything really, something that
we'd love to see done already.
If you, dear reader, have input for any of the above topics, or perhaps
something I left out, do reply to this thread on dev@community and let's
see if we can muster up enough people to get something going :)
With regards,
Daniel.
PS: Please, don't just +1 this email blindly. If you are willing to join
in whatever capacity, indicate what you're willing to sign up for as
well as your experience with the ASF (even if you're someone like jim,
others might not know you!). If you agree with something I said, state
so, possibly elaborate, or tell me where I got everything wrong.
