Brief: Reports from you OSD project + Mainpages
I want to start switching gears towards the final assignment. So each one of you should post about your progress with your OS project of choice:
- Sign up to the development mailinglist of the project
- Tell us who are the leading figures
- What are the leading issues
- Try to search for ‘design’ and ‘interface’ as a keyword in the discussion. What were the discussions around it, where did they lead? Are there already interface designers involved? How do proposals appear on the list? Is there a discussion? Do people meet in person?
- Is there a development blog? A forum? Where is the development taking place
- When you get to the step of introducing yourself / offering help, what do you think will be the best way to do that?
- Based on what you’ve learned so far and the feedback you got in class, what do you think can be your contribution to the project?
- Write all of these assessments in a post by Thursday, April 10th, 8pm.
I think we made some progress in the workshop yesterday and I want to be done with the main page by next week, so we need to still keep up the pace. Let’s break it down again:
By Tomorrow, April 5th, noon:
- Post a comment to your posts summing the feedback you got in class.
- Post at least three more comments to two of your fellow students.
By Tuesday, April 8th, noon:
- Submit a link to your blog with the header.php and footer.php index.php & sidebar.php implemented according to your design (in other words - the main page - ready) Like last week, with this link post a screenshot of the page too (it will be important for the documentation of your process)
By Wednesday, April 9th, noon:
- Post at least 4 comments to your fellow students on what they posted.
By Thursday, April 10th, 8pm:
- Post the link + screenshot of your main page, done. (by Friday next week your main page should be ready for critique as a WP theme).
And again, if you’re stuck, use the mailing list. If you learned a cool trick and want to share, use the mailing list. If somebody got stuck and you think you might be able to help, use the mailing list.
Enjoy.
