Action items:
- Organize a quick usability test
- Defining what these fields are for the next meeting (Projects page)
- Start looking into color scheme and design items
User types –
Visitors (lurkers)
Members – only difference with visitors is posting ability; also perhaps some exclusive content in the future, member-only; making membership more valuable by restricting access to visitors
Admins
RAs who can populate the site would need full admin
There’s going to be an on-boarding process, think about what you need and how we can train your people
Taxonomy – cognitive load of 6 + 8… talk more about using these as filters for finding what you want
- A set of folks who really focus on the phases, a set of folks who focus on the design principle.. so then the question becomes – do we want to focus on the phases, and then sort by design principle once you know what phase you’re in; or focus on the design principle, and then see where people are at in their process
- Which one to prioritize? Can do user testing, have the decision be user-driven
- Organize a quick usability test
- Teams are organized around design principles – how to make membership more enticing? Wanting to join one of these teams to do work – if you really want to be part of the team, you have to be member
- Phases as a collection has its own power, design principles each have their own power
- Some sort of post/podcast or something that explains why the phases are important on homepage - or something in between
- Find ways to modify existing homepage; perhaps a map/cover page
How the projects work:
- What are the fields that are important to have in here? Talking about with team about what that would be – for next meeting: defining what these fields are on the projects page
Major feature difference between case study and group discussion:
Ongoing different species of projects – a lot of “show and tell” – where do those topics reside? Create attachments as another field, which is associated with project – and if you want them more broadly available, you’d have to make a post of it
Attachments inside any thread
*Staged roll-outs – design a whole season of podcasts releases – building anticipation with each new stage; part of the ask of the new launch – do kind of a quiet launch, pick a design for the margins, idea of related content
Linkages and sequences as a backlog
Let’s build a field around civic design – as we go forward, a kind of mission statement;
Themes/ideas that you want to communicate visually – connecting our complexity, create something in the public space that holds it
What other sites do you get inspiration from? participedia = not good
Part of the phase to invite people in; raise two or three really key questions that need to be examined…
- Has a way to create narrow customization – civic design map; balancing the one-size fits all with, but this could be a generalized way to get into spaces that you don’t know a lot about; map/graphic-based approach to it
