October 18, 2018 - Platform Coop - Team Update Meeting

Oct 30, 2018

  • Identifying people to co-author the “personas” - freelancer, coop member etc

    • explain them in a way that makes sense to that group

  • translation is tricky - 5 or so on the page now already - hope would be to have a google API

  • Mozilla wants to support us - they became more concrete (not a huge amount of money)

    • can we ask them for something else?

  • send email to all surveyists with “deadline” of end of next week (DA)

  • communicating to the community is such an important part

    • therefore UX early in the process

    • telling them about it, getting them involved

  • Jutta and Trebor had talked about having a tab/article on the site about “sleeping with the enemy” to explain why we are working with Google

  • annotate with bullet points each site example for design sense (DA):

  • Timeline:

    • scheduling tool e.g.

    • start with a gut feel - provisional ideas - high level planning for the windows

    • scheduling is complex because of these reasons - we will refine

    • Can PCC provide a gut feel brain dump of the sorts of things we want in the scheduling tool, a governance tool - that will help us a lot

      • that’s a bit difficult…it is out of our depth…we can write that down

    • if that’s difficult than we have to treat the timelines differently

  • We did get another grant - Distributed governance

    • hire 4 SEWA researchers

    • one from IDRC

  • need more detail for reporting than what is on the wiki

    • Michael - the 5 questions:

    • 2-3 sentences per question, 5 questions

    • will help the research office - develop the scope of work - the WINDOWS of scoping

  • in addition to the 2 tools:

    • MAP - survey - reaching out to find other projects not yet on the map

    • which standard, how compliant with other databases?

    • Jutta - data visualization of this to something that policy makers can use (show the data)

    • more features, more interoperability

  • blog post about India - has details there - take a look

    • social network

    • making decisions

    • education

    • everyone add details - we will merge it all

  • Need MILESTONES for research office (not timeline)

    • iterative plan - co-design every quarter e.g.

    • how many embedded co-design

    • for the tools - we will spend X amount of time on it

    • e.g. a tool we can build in 8 months

    • see Michelle’s Trello board
