From MozillaWiki
- Project Name: Roundtable
- Project Lead(s): Katie Zhu
Project Status
- Underlying database schema and comment system
- The project is currently capable of displaying a test issue with content
Collaborators
The following folks helped with this project:
- Andy Jennings: Ideation, frontend
- Stjin Debrouwere: Ideation, backend
Next steps
- From here I would like to:
- Get comments working and post-able
- Implement BrowserID to allow users to create accounts
- Deploy a working prototype
- Host a test Roundtable, have users play with the platform and experiment, give feedback
- Modularize the app -- break into chunks that newsrooms might be more able to implement.
- Make the entire app "pluggable."
Places where this project might be tested include:
- School publication: North by Northwestern (northbynorthwestern.com)
- Potentially team up with a news partner (Mohamed suggested potentially having an Al Jazeera English program use the app, focused around the show and its audience).
