+1 +1 +1 !!!!

 

(Ive managed to get my python/djanngo set up… but lernanta dependencies have thrown me for a serious loop and I would LOVE to be able to contribute more)

Jessica, that would be great - I'd love to be in a group of people learning how to positively hack on the new site. Can I suggest a task - "Getting your Python dev environment setup" as that's where I've stalled in my learning of Python!

+1 on Contributing to Lernata (code) group. I've been toying with the idea of doing a session on contributing to open source with a focus on Python code but have not had time to make up a fake project yet nor become more than a novice in Python. 

 

Are there enough junior tasks? Though I guess we could take a task (that doesn't have an urgency) and do it a loose pair programming style project. It'd show people that are interested how to get code from a repository, find out how to compile it/run it locally, find a bug to work on, make the necessary change, and submit.

If Zuzel is game for a novice Python person to lead up a session, I can do it.  How about a 3-4 week one?

I very much agree with the idea of involving more learners in design of the platform. I would love for someone to run a course on how to hack Lernanta. It could be more of an open study group of people who want to try to play with the code together, try to do some of the junior tasks etc. I mentioned this to Philipp, and he said it would be great, as long as Zuzel isn't the one leading the course - we want her cranking out high quality code :) So if anyone else wanted to step up to the table, I think it would be great. I'd love to participate.

Dan and I had a conversation earlier today about how we can work with the new site.

One of Dan's ideas which I strongly agree with was for Webcraft to encourage more study groups that engage learners in developing practical skills while helping on the P2PU site and project. This idea has been present in the Webcraft community for a while, but it was important that a new platform was in development before we put too much energy into improving a system about to be retired. I'll engage more strongly with the Webcraft community about this but some initial ideas were:

*	technical documentation and technical writing 
*	screencasting ***
*	HTML5 video - P2PU promotional video / Get Involved info****
*	using the ticketing system ****

We also discussed 

*	how to encourage peer feedback to study group task responses. (less the organiser's responsibility >  more of a peer effort) 
*	how to best link in work produced on sites outside of p2pu.org. 
*	how to encourage Webcraft organisers to use really good tools like JSFiddle

We recognised that these are problems shared by many other developers exploring Personal Learning Environments <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_personal_learning_environments> .
