More Tabs Redesign Summit Discussion

See http://confluence.sakaiproject.org/confluence/display/UI/Sakai+%27More%27+Tab+Design#Sakai%27More%27TabDesign for more information on the progress of our work so far.

Agenda

• Present & discuss planned work for 2.5

• Present & discuss planned work for 2.6

• Discuss 'blue sky' version of Sakai for the future

  • This will probably also be informed by our content management research

  • Discussion Questions

    • Should users be able to determine their own categories and sort their own sites?

    • Where does it make most sense for users to make changes to their sites (e.g. in Worksite Setup or in the sites themselves)?

    • What might the future of My Workspace be? Should it become a more portal-like dashboard of selected site information?

    • Is there anything we want to do now to make Sakai more consistent?

      • Consistent use of intra-tool navigation vs. action buttons

      • Accessing actions (e.g. Resources drop-downs vs. links)

      • Consistent ordering of tools

    • Should there be tabs at all?

    • Should there be sites at all? (This is probably the big question) Is there a better way to organize Sakai (e.g. by user tasks)?

    • From "bug fix" to Fluid component: How might we take the ideas from "More Sites" and generalize them into a component that is useful across all the Fluid applications (uPortal, Moodle, etc)?
