Notes

Colin

  • High level overview of ongoing projects

  • Coming out of "quick win" mode

  • Need to start thinking about new components to feed into dev process

Daphne

  • Diagram of how the User Research will feed into component development

  • Top down research supporting bottom-up development

Reorderer

  • Still some design work left to do, preparing to use Reorderer at uCamps.

User Research Project Plan
http://wiki.fluidproject.org/display/fluid/Research+Project+Plan

  • How do we carry this out, who will be working on it?

  • Perhaps 3 or 4 designers from different institutions

  • How do we research Sakai and Uportal at the same time

  • Do they have the same personas and scenarios and personas

  • Is there enough overlap between them, or is it really 2 different projects?

How to prioritize the work, next steps?

  • Should we break out into smaller groups, or should everyone be involved in all activities?

  • Still looking for a project manager to help with co-ordination

How to move forward?

  • Everyone should review project plans

  • Perhaps we need to get all tasks into cardmeeting, and prioritize in there?

  • Each project should probably have it's own meeting

Oct 31 Release

  • Heuristic Walkthrough needs to be cleaned up so we can publish it

  • DND Design Pattern published

Next Meeting will be Friday, Daphne will co-ordinate time offline.
