Greetings, all - Bryan has informed me that he'd like to get the site's bare minimum tasks up and running by mid-to-late January, in time for a conference. In order for us to make sure the bare minimum tasks are accounted for, we need to form a list of pages that we think encompass the bare minimum.
To clarify the intent the request I'm asking you all to partake in... 1) I'm taking an inventory of required pages, be they already written and in production, in the process of being written, in need of correction, or brand new. This isn't merely a request of what others think is still needed, rather an "inventory assessment", if you will, of ensuring we have everything we need to go live. 2) The pages that should be considered bare minimum should be pages that are required to satisfy our prime goal of users signing up and becoming patrons of projects. Other items (e.g. wiki pages, discussion boards, etc.) are wonderful icing on the cake and are nice to have and definitely help with our development workflow, but the truth is that we could continue to have patrons sign up and fund projects without them, so they're not considered a bare minimum. Once we have the list of pages that are deemed essential bare minimum pages, we can begin to assess whether or not they exist at all, what each page needs in order to be functional enough for go-live, and whether or not those pages fit that need. We can also see what it would take for them to be aligned to the new designs that Robert has been coming up with to have a consistent look and feel throughout the bare essential pages. I started (and continue to edit) the list on a new Etherpad that Aaron has set up for us (https://v.etherpad.org/p/snowdrift). If you can take some time (preferably before Tuesday) to hop over to the Etherpad, review the list I started and make any edits you feel important (adding additional pages, adding commentary for us to consider, etc.), I would greatly appreciate it. Once we feel everyone's had a chance to weigh in on the pages and we're good with the list that is there, I'll bring the list over to our beta-sprint wiki page for a more semi-permanent home for the list. If you have any questions, comments or concerns, this e-mail chain or the Etherpad would be great places to raise them. Thanks a lot, everyone!! - Jason (JazzyEagle)
