  • Aakash: talk to webdev

May 11

plan for community page:

  1. get blog posts syndicated to our community page
  2. get tweets syndicated to our community page
  3. have them both working together in a everything
  4. have community page segregate tweets,

feedback:

  • default to event list
    • easy to do as an option on the plugin
  • differentiate docs titles on each major section
  • add styling backgrounds/borders/etc. to get involved on home page and sidebar snippets in general to make them more visible
  • group titles smaller than headers in group page content


status:

  • craig: finishing up events, diving into community
    • need to do: get docs related to group working, get community working, look into feedback and work on styling and bugs
    • events plugin can't do associated events for now, will talk to developer to get it working
  • aakash:
    • look into rss feed syndication via filtering
    • need to do: remove commenting per page by default, find out how to incorporate video (i.e. flash or html 5?), get list of community members category feeds, talk to webdev about getting site setup on subversion (ala rock your firefox) (craigcook@gmail.com permissions)

notables/take-aways:

  • get community page up and running
  • timeline to staging for thurs/fri
  • set up in subversion, copy of wp-content folder. only thing that gets manage in subversion is theme and content. wordpress doesn't get changed

Facebook Page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Mozilla-QA/122167964300 Twitter Account: http://twitter.com/mozillaqa

Here's some links for the getting started snippet:

Contact us on IRC: http://widget.mibbit.com/?settings=1b10107157e79b08f2bf99a11f521973&server=irc.mozilla.org&channel=%23qa Read our Newsgroup: http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.dev.quality/


Here's some take-aways from our chat:

Home page: - blue links after links clicked on getting started - change sticky post to static content only for home page - accomodate flash video in static content - icons for groups

Planet QMO: - get the syndicated blog posts as a priority - getting twitter posts in is not a blocker

Groups/Docs: - both consist of pages rather than blog posts

March 4

What went well and should be repeated in future versions?

  • domain destination, place to get information about our qa community,
  • communications hub to the community
    • mediums: blogs, forums
    • content: events
  • communications aggregate to planet and other places
  • documentation is valuable
  • events snippet
  • spam filters
  • navbar is concise and intuitive
  • speed improvements
  • events calendar

What went wrong and should be avoided in future versions?

  • lack of customizibility for any user
  • terribly difficult to administrate and update content quickly
  • lack of interactive content
  • community can't interact with each other
  • community interaction with the qa team
  • execution of initiatives for the website
  • dedicated resource to manage the website
  • deemed as a side project by mozQA and community, needed to be an integral part of communications and interaction with community

What are possible solutions to what went wrong?

  • more interactions: attract based on features (not milestones), try contests, task-based volunteering
  • document portal that's more in your face
    • tag cloud, categories, better hierarchy, integration with communications (blog posts, forum topics, etc.)
  • NO MORE DRUPAL
  • We should embed/incorporate a ShareThis widget
  • hierarchy: admins, write content users and interactors with content
  • community hub: twitter feed for #mozquality, Fade In/Fade Out ticker for latest feedback submitted on main home page siphoned from reporter.mozilla.org, latest bugs filed to fx and fennec products, Planet QMO, rss feed buttons/links

What would we like to add?

  • We should embed/incorporate a ShareThis widget
  • Discoverable links to our social networks
  • Proper FAQ where people can file an enhancement bug to BMO
