[p2pu-dev] Getting started with Lernanta (cont.)

[Jos Flores]

Hey Dirk,

bunch of great questions in there. Maybe the challenge should be split
in different challenges with tasks grouped according to the target
audience?

What audiences can we think of? I can see:

Group 1: Aspiring contributors: they want to contribute to Lernanta
Group 2: More Lurker-like learners: they want to learn the tech but
not too bothered about contributing or participating.
Group 3: Non-technical contributors: they want a functioning copy of
Lernanta for translations/copy/and so on.

Tasks (and groups that will likely do them)
1. introduce yourself : Groups 1 (maybe 2) and 3
2. Getting to know Python: Groups 1 and 2
3. Getting to know Django : Groups 1 and 2
4. create dev env : Groups 1 and 2
5. group feedback (should this be part of the challenge? not a task anymore?)
6. experiment : Groups 1, 2 and 3
7. fix a bug : Group 1
8. links (should this be a task???)
9. windows (think this should go. should be part of 4)

Additional tasks (non existing now):
10. Up and running in 5 minutes : Group 3, using vagrant

Differences between groups 1 and 2 are not too wide and I'd say
targeting 1 would be a better fit for us anyway, so we could have 2
challenges (or two paths into one challenge):
For content developers: tasks 1, 10 and 6 (in that order --> probably
reorder task numbers)
For tech contributors: tasks 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 7

does that make any sense at all??? :D
Can you think of any other audiences?

cheers,
José
