RE: [hackers] Goals

2003-07-25 Thread Zephyr Teachout
Hey guys, let me know if you want some sites to test on -- there are
dozens of sites out there that would be interested in knowing about
this, and I'd like to start giving some folks the headsup that you're
working on it, if nothing else (also I'm so damn thrilled about the
whole project its hard to keep in)-- let me know what you think,  when
I can leak it more publicly,

 Most of you don't know me very well yet but I am all about action and

 since last week's goals were not met, I think some level of dialogue
is
 needed. I propose the following timeline goals:

 A week from now all modules will be written.

I understand the need for urgency, but i don't see how you can be
comfortable setting deadlines for everyone at this point.  That
might be an appropriate thing to try if you understood the degree
of complexity of each module and the status of progress on each
module -- but some of the modules haven't been specified, and some
haven't even been claimed by anyone yet, so there's no way anyone
could possibly know that.

I do think the enthusiasm is good.  Let's just try to avoid setting
wildly unrealistic goals.  (Why do i think this is unrealistic?
With respect to the media module, unless you are already way ahead
of me on the code -- if so, great, but we should communicate --
there's no way it will be done next week.  I'll continue the
discussion of complexity and unresolved issues regarding the media
module on the developers list.)

I agree with you that setting goals is good -- when we set them,
they have to be both realistic and specific.

if we use Illinois for Dean's Dean-o-gram initative (which isn't 
finished
yet), it is still going to need to be incorporated into Drupal. 
Someone
(Lynn seemed to volunteer) should start work or be thinking about this
IMHO
I am volunteering for it but I'm not sure what needs to be in the 
module. Do I just run with it? Seeing the Illinois one (even if it's 
not for drupal) would be a help if anyone has access to it.
Lynn: The answer is *run with it*! This here group is all about 
individual initiative. Also, I'm contacting indiana today to try and 
get some brains from their operation on our list. I'll include a 
question about the invite thingy as well as drupal...

From what I know about endorse it is a form you fill out and spam all your friends 
with some premade Dean messages. That link looks like something to gather names 
(which we can also do, where do we put them?).

The deanvolunteers page is closer to the talent database. How is that part going? We 
won't be duplicating or conflicting with the DeanVolunteers effort if we make that 
will we?

The talent db is misnamed, really -- it has a talent db function, but
the real trick is in the display, ALA friendster, and the social
community building. Its not about the info coming in (really easy) --
more about the way of showing it that induces connections (find a
neighbor for dean).
