[p2pu-dev] notes tech call Apr 18 2012 -- includes demo links and screenshost of new features

[Zuzel VP]

 *April 18*


   - Process for manual adition of badges


   - We are currently hiring a new learning lead. The learning lead support
   badge creation. While we are in the process of hiring that person we'll log
   requests for new badges and Zuzel can help create some of them.


   - To make the process as easy as possible, here is a template for all
   the info that is needed for new badges:


   - http://pad.p2pu.org/p/new-badges


   - New features that are in development are ready for review on
   alpha.p2pu.org


   - Some features require the user to be logged in as an organizer (use
   username: administrator / password: password)


   - Added a new 'create challenge' tab


   - http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5321/7090209511_883b4dc258_b.jpg


   - http://alpha.p2pu.org/en/groups/create/challenge/


   - Updated edit summary tab for challenges (labels, placeholder text for
   some fields are the same as in the challenge creation mockups)


   - http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5235/6944225618_88395646d9_b.jpg


   - http://alpha.p2pu.org/en/groups/my-challenge/edit/


   - Updated edit image tab (small change to the layout to be easier to use)


   - http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7099/7090294819_b37016570e_b.jpg


   - http://alpha.p2pu.org/en/groups/my-challenge/edit/image/


   - Comments:


   - In future we may include image upload into the "create" form to make
   creation and editing a similar UX


   - Future improvement: Cropping out and image resizing (right now some
   users are struggling to resize / crop an image to the right size)


   - Updated edit status & duration tab in challenges (input duration like
   in the challenge creation mockup)


   - http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5336/6944225674_32d568c0bd_b.jpg

   - Comments:


   - I think full hours is enough (1 hour, 2 hours, etc.) / would keep it
   as simple as possible (don't think we need minutes)


   - Is confusing the UI


   - TODO: remove that functionality


   - Rich text content before and bellow courses list on school home pages (
   http://help.p2pu.org/discussions/questions/63-school-page-layout)


   - http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5035/6944148544_5ee912a8ca_n.jpg


   - http://alpha.p2pu.org/en/schools/school-of-ed-pilot/


   - Comments:


   - The second text field is optional. For those schools who don't use it,
   nothing changes.


   - Included view submissions link on badge page: (previously only
   displayed a link to submissions if you have made a submission)


   - http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7275/7090202461_fff7460619_c.jpg


   - http://alpha.p2pu.org/en/badges/html-basic/


   - Multiple reviews from different peers to non-unique submission enabled
   badges

   - http://alpha.p2pu.org/en/badges/super-blogger/awards/user-4/


   - Deferred loading of the courses' metrics table:


   - http://alpha.p2pu.org/en/groups/my-challenge/admin/metrics/


   - Comments:


   - the page loads immediately, while the data is still being loaded in
   the background


   - in the code, not really visible, but speeds up page load if there is
   lots of data


   - significant improvement to the user experience


   - Improved task title validation so no task is created with an empty title
   / slug:


   - Try creating a task with title سعيد


   - http://alpha.p2pu.org/en/groups/my-challenge/content/create/


   - http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7183/7090313071_43702e6b4d_c.jpg


   - Updated course creation notification message to organizer:


   -
   https://github.com/p2pu/lernanta/blob/master/lernanta/templates/projects/emails/project_created.txt


   - Z: working on (in progress -- will keep working on it during the next
   iteration)


   - creat a unified UX for editing, creating and ordering (changing the
   order) tasks


   - this will evolve into steps 2 and 3 of the challenge creation mockup
   -- https://gomockingbird.com/mockingbird/#m5ase18/wJabLR


   - the sortable accordion on the UI is using jquery like in
   http://jqueryui.com/demos/accordion/sortable.html


   - i like the accordion


   - Development priorities


   - [Zuzel] Challenge creation process


   - [Dirk] Badges - both back-end review of django badger / basic UI for
   badge creation


   - long-term goal is to let anyone create badges and associate them with
   their challenges


   - look at django-badger to make sure the two apps are either
   meaningfully different or consider extending django-badger


   - start by automating creation of badges for a particular challenge
   (role the organizer of the challenge creates the badges)


   - the info neccesary is on the http://pad.p2pu.org/p/new-badges


   - design goal -> create as independent badges app that others could
   re-use in their django sites


   - [Dirk] Sanding some rough edges


   - Thumbnails etc. - future tasks to be agreed in daily chats with Zuzel


   - Other:


   - Possible profile improvements. (two cards) [Waiting on details from
   John]


   - URL design [Needs more detail / input from John]


   - Sanding some rough edges


   - I really like this one as well ;-) [And maybe a good way for Dirk to
   continue exploring all parts of the code / site?]


   - Dirk's notes: http://pad.p2pu.org/p/dirk_thoughts


   - List grouped into tech, logical and philosophical :)


   - Move information about future releases into github wiki and link to it
   from the top of this etherpad


   - Next steps:


   - Zuzel to update roadmap on wiki --
   https://github.com/p2pu/lernanta/wiki/Lernanta%27s-Roadmap


   - On the github wiki, add a link to trello as well


   - Add link to the github wiki to the top of this etherpad


   - Dialing into London meeting afternoon (tomorrow)
