-== Product Priorities ==
+__NOTOC__
-* Plugin / Demo Directory for Projects
-* Port challenges functionality from Drumbeat to Betafarm
-* Enhancements to Event management
+== Get Involved ==
-== Q3 2011 ==
+Our code is in [https://github.com/mozilla/betafarm Github]. We are using Github issues and [https://www.pivotaltracker.com/projects/284775 Pivotal Tracker] to track our work. Discussion about Betafarm should be directed to the Mozilla Labs [http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla-labs Google Group].
-* Plugin / Demo directory
-* Event enhancements
-== Q4 2011 ==
+== Features ==
-* Challenge functionality
-* Port from drumbeat.org with Dan Sinker and Dees as stakeholders
+There are a number of features we would like to see in Betafarm:
+* Drumbeat.org hosted a series of challenges for the [https://drumbeat.org/en-US/journalism/ Knight Mozilla News Technology Partnership]. This functionality should be ported to Betafarm so that projects can launch challenges to collect ideas and feedback from the community.
+* Enhancements to the Events section of Betafarm. A user should be able to find events in their area, and RSVP to those events, possibly integrating with a 3rd party event management system (e.g. Lanyrd, EventBrite).
+* Users should be able to search projects, users, events, etc.
+* Projects should be able to specify ways that people can get involved (e.g. testers, developers). Users should be able to easily find interesting projects that they can meaningfully contribute to.
+The following is a breakdown of features by quarter. Note that things will likely move around depending on resources, external dependencies, etc.
+== Q3 Priorities ==
+* Allow project members to edit their own projects.
+== Q4 Priorities ==
+=== Challenge functionality (hard deadline: beginning of Nov) ===
+* Project members should be able to launch a challenge. A challenges has a title, description, guidelines for submissions, and a start date / end date.
+* Users can make submissions to a challenge. A submission has a title and description. The description should allow some limited HTML with support for image uploads and video embedding.
+* Some mechanism should be provided for reviewing challenge submissions and selecting a winner or winners.
+=== Event Enhancements ===
+* A user should be able to easily discover events in their area.
+* A user should be able to filter events by location and date.
+* Event functionality should integrate with a popular 3rd party event management system if possible (e.g. EventBrite, Lanyrd, Plancast).
+=== Search ===
+* As the list of projects, blog posts, users, events, challenges with a presence on Betafarm grows, it'll become necessary to allow users to search and filter.
+* Consider categories and tags for projects, users, events, etc.
+* Search should be intuitive. If a user starts typing "Project", we should assist by auto-populating a keyword that limits the results to projects (for example).
