This is the continuation of a discussion started in the Bootstrap thread -- see here for the original message.

I've worked on some guidelines on how we can work together effectively. Again, just suggestions to start a discussion ... please jump in.

Given
- each of us is putting in a varying amount of capacity, either alone or as a group
- we want to make sure that every contribution is both valuable (= results in a better joomla) and valued
- we each bring to the table different skills in different 'quantities'
- our effort is geographically and temporally spread out

we'll need a decent yet lightweight coordination approach. Also, we need the leadership to paint the big picture -- I'm not clear on whether that would be Kyle, a specific working group, the entire PLT, so suggestions are very welcome -- and assume some form of project management role.

We'll also probably move to a more formal 'registration' of people, skills and capacity in the near future.

Questions :
  • in what timeframe are we looking at this effort ?
  • is this a side branch of 3.0 we'ld be working on, and where do we start ?
  • is there a basic guideline -- based on Kyle's work -- or other ?
  • do we need a kickoff meeting (virtual or IRL) ?


Once again, thanks to all participants, and looking forward to many more of you stepping up !

As TJ pointed out, nothing has been decided yet. While more supporters are signing up, let's get that first hurdle out of the way.

Dear leadership, you have about 40 mandays of various skills at your disposal. How do we figure out together how to make this capacity useful ? Feel free to jump in.

Is there a branch in the repository dedicated to the 3.0 UI effort?

It's been a while since I've worked on a Joomla project. Poked around Joomlacode GForge a little, core appears to updated by bot from GitHub these days??

github.com/joomla

specifically github.com/joomla/joomla-cms

Is this correct?

UX would need a place for code. Either Joomlacode or GitHub, just as long as we can checkout, version, and submit, I guess it doesn't matter where

Does Kyle have a branch for the UX effort in either of these locations? I didn't notice one.

Are there objective " deliverables" specified already, etc...?

is there a PM?

IMO....there's a lot that could be done to improve metadata output from the core. Possibly work with template overrides on a proof of concept and then merge later if well received.

HTML5 as well.

Thanks
Mark
