Hi Anastasia, This would be an interesting idea as it would allow us to demonstrate multiple contexts to show our components can be used and different features in each.
I think each demo can be a portal in itself: - features and description - API documentation - tutorials - design considerations - customizations: "edit code and see effects", different screen sizes, view just the standalone demo. All of this reminds me of the wiki gardening we did (2 years ago now) that produced the Components pages on the wiki: http://wiki.fluidproject.org/display/fluid/Components Ex. http://wiki.fluidproject.org/display/fluid/List+Reorderer It's good to come around full circle again and see how we can best communicate these things to the public. I don't think this will be a simple undertaking since we have a lot of information in the Wiki and other sources that will be cross referenced and consolidated. Part of me thinks we should take inventory of the documentation we have currently and see if it can be structured better. Perhaps from this we will have a better idea of what to show in the demo portal (although it's becoming less a demo portal, and more like a components showroom). - Jonathan. --- Jonathan Hung / [email protected] <[email protected]> IDRC - Interaction Designer / Researcher Tel: (416) 977-6000 x3959 Fax: (416) 977-9844 On Thu, Nov 4, 2010 at 10:44 AM, Cheetham, Anastasia <[email protected]>wrote: > > Something else to think about when thinking about our demo portal: > > Users have requested demos showing variations on the configurations, > changes to the options, etc. ("How do I set the page size?")
