A Whiteboard template

Hi everyone,
Today's IRC meeting has come to the conclusion that the Whiteboards we have
need unified structure, one that is easy to look through for both
developers and designers, one that's not too wordy, and one that can hold
multiple proposals for solutions to the problem the Whiteboard deals with.
We've also agreed that the whiteboard should be a place for describing the
problem and proposed solutions only, while all comments, thoughts, and
debate should take place on the mailing list.

The tentative proposal for the template is at
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/User:Mirek2#Tentative_Whiteboard_Template.

Please respond to this message with comments, suggestions, or simply a "+1"
-- I'd like to get this wrapped up by the end of next week so that we can
get started with cleaning up the current whiteboards.

Sorry for today, I wasn't at home (I should have been but I had to help a
friend.)
I keep my choices as they are in the doodle !

+1 here.
Although I wasn't able to understand all of it. It looks very lean and
clean but there doesn't seem to be much space dedicated to the proposals
themselves, proportionally; I guess this is just because the proposals
are really empty for now, I suppose it'll work just fine once filled.
I'm not sure if the proposal part should or could be a little more
detailed, also.
I don't quite get the Personas part either. Is this to list people
interested and/or working in the proposals?
And lastly: is "favorite links" a part from the whiteboard template? If
so, I guess the "relevant art" part should be merged with it. If not,
then I guess the "relevant art" could be expanded to include links, and
moved somewhere near the "bug" and "discussion" parts, because they're
all motivation/inspiration of whatever proposal that comes after.
Kudos for the "scope" part. This is where I always get lost...

Apart from that, sorry for not being able to show up for the IRC
meeting. It's a little early in this part of the globe, and I needed the
extra sleep. I intend to participate in the next ones, though.

Cheers./

I added a few details under the Proposals section [1].

No. It lists theoretical users with different personalities, computer
skills, and/or usage scenarios, and the way the issue relates to them.

And lastly: is "favorite links" a part from the whiteboard template?


No, that was part of my user page.

Hi Mirek, all,

I noticed that Gnome have these nice stars to signify what stage a
proposal is in, so I wanted to do something similar. Thus, in the last
couple minutes I fixed up this status "timeline" (not a real timeline
since multiple states can be active at once):

https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/User:Astron/Whiteboard_Template

How do you like it? How do you feel about the states that are in it?

Astron.

I like the general idea, though I'd prefer to use "call for proposals" or
something along those lines rather than "designs wanted" so that we use the
term "proposals" (same as the section name), then have something like
"analysis of proposals", for when we're discussing the pros and cons of
each proposal, but not developing a single design yet, then have "design
taking shape", then I'd have "implementation in progress" (as the
whiteboard is there mainly for tracking design progress, not development
progress), and then "implemented".

I put it up on the whiteboard template. (BTW, I found the highlight color a
bit too bright, so I toned it down a bit.)

Hi Mirek,

thanks for the feedback. I've updated my page accordingly.

Like "discussing" more...

I'd favour something like "finali[sz]ing proposal". "Taking shape"
sounds as if there wasn't anything substantial yet (but I'd hope there
is).

Sure. Might even help with accessibility. Although it might be good to
use our branding colours here, see [1].

I've updated my page to reflect your feedback.

Astron.
