So, this seems to gel with what people have said, in that it is both
tangible and possibly doable for Feb, and also a framework rather than
just a one-off.
As a next step, maybe we generate a list of things we'd like to be
able to do with it? please feel free to chip in to the list below.
It's great people on the list (susie at least) already have experience
with doing something like this.
* allow non-profits to submit potential projects for IxDA folks to
work on (project submission page)
* info needed for this page:
** organization name
** contact info
*** name
*** email
*** phone
*** address
** brief description (ie "need site usability evaluation")
** extended description
** relevant URLs (could be part of description)?
** ability to add attachments?
** type of expertise needed?
** estimated scope/time for project
** status: new/in progress/finished
* allow IxDA people to browse requests (phase 2 - search requests?)
(project list page)
* info displayed in this page
** org name
** brief description
** type of expertise needed
** estimated scope/time for project
* all IxDA people to examine individual requests in detail (project
detail page)
* admin page
** to edit/delete submitted records
** to change project status or assign projects to particular individuals
* nice to have: ability to add notes to the individually submitted
proposals ("ie - I looked over your proposal, and I think you need to
more clearly define what you need done before anyone will take it on",
or "did you know this functionality is already available from this
open source project?")
* nice to have - ability for project submitter to receive any notes
posted to their project via email
* nice to have: ability to look back at finished projects
* nice to have: ability to attach case study summaries to finished
projects. (so people can browse through old projects as an
educational resource)
* general requirement: minimize or eliminate the need for a system
owner/admin. should be as community-driven as possible
* possible requirement: privacy - need to protect/hide contact info
