Q2 2009
Community • do team building as early as possible with site visits • gather basic info (inventory) from museums about their infrastructure and enterprise solutions • talk to museum professionals (user analysis) to identify pain-points
architecture • sketches to structure the work of the project as a whole (in particular authoring and services early on): focusing on data import and search
mobile • planning and early sketches on one platform
maps • take web-ready map and work it into early web app prototype • social networking • conceptual work; tie-in with architecture services sketches • authoring resources • begin templates from idea to development in this quarter: planning, scoping, to coding.
UX • build up to wireframes of map presentation • do early designs of components coming out of map/web work for pick-up by developers in Q4 2009 • work on mobile designs for one platform • identify components and roadmap them out for build: focusing on mobile and authoring templates
output: • sketches of architecture (services, authoring, web solutions); early UX work on maps in particular; UX planning for building out components for authoring and mobile; a sense of what communities we need to integrate solutions for (ContentMS, CollectionMS, DB, etc.); early mobile sketches
Q3 2009
Community • regular sharing and check-ins of work; plug-n-chug workflow
architecture • deliver preliminary API and implement with early museum use-case
mobile • testable prototype with basic functionality
maps • do implementations of map solution in early museum use-case; tie-together with existing audio solutions for early audio tour integration
social networking • look for low-hanging fruit for integration into services • authoring • early implementation in museum use-case
UX • continue component work (continue to refine work on map design with feedback and user testing with early adopters) • focus on mobile and authoring here (second mobile platform early work)
output: • early implementations; early exhibit authoring templates; early map example; mobile prototype basic map authoring tool component(s) for displaying maps and information native mobile app early tie-in with audio tour some exhibit templates an early exhibit web site

First Six Month Deliverable Sketch: April-Sept 2009

April - June Map creation

not factored as a service, just image editing (desktop and mobile)
April - June Data inventory + preliminary service API
April - July Tag it with objects
couple of map display components
map + quickview
July - Sept. Preliminary data import/search indexing
July - Sept. Render it on web and mobile
iPhone
July - Sept. Integrate museum audio materials with map/mobile
July - Sept. Decide on implementation mini grants; adjust priorities accordingly; build out from early implementations
June/July Bring team together for a working meeting in Toronto

Q4 2009
Community • continue to work closely with museum partners and ensure project is engaging with the broader open source community and the cultural institution community; preparation for coordinating and executing mini grants
architecture • services: search and social networking + tie-in with CMSs
mobile • continue to refine the prototype, integrating it with social networking work; work on second platform
maps • continue to work with museums to build additional functionality into map (tie-in with services + early interaction (bookmarking))
social networking • focus on low hanging fruit for integration into map and mobile in particular
authoring • focus on building out authoring templates that capture an abstracted solution rather than a cookie-cutter and work in the component work from the early design work on map/web
UX • continue to work toward design solutions that compliment the deliverables (i.e. mobile, map, authoring templates)
output: • couple of social software hooks, more design on authoring tools and templates; more mobile work (second platform); more component work (tie-in with early work) • begin to tie-it-all-together (services > authoring > map > mobile + web)
Q1 2010
Community • manage mini grants and work coming out from that – manage expanding and contracting of team as the mini grant work continues
architecture • solid API
mobile • roll-out mobile solution to museum partner
maps • tie together with social networking
social networking • tied in with services to be used for maps and authoring
authoring • tie-in with services plus multiple implementations with museum partners
UX • pair up UI and UX designers to build out multiple templates in consultation with museum partners/mini-grant awardees
output: • multiple authoring template implementation examples, mini-grant implementation work, further tie-together of social networking with services (search and index) plus build-out to platforms (web, mobile ((authoring)).

Second half deliverables: Oct 2009-April 2010

Oct-Dec Ability to "bookmark" items from map into a "save for later"

service + component
Oct-Dec Search service + components
Oct-April Mini grants: implementation; real exhibits powered by Engage
templates as a deliverable from mini grants
pair the UX and UI resources of the community up to create generalized exhibit templates
Jan-April Templates (see above)
