CommHub Update

Last week:

Slack Log (Requires SlackSlack Slack is a Collaborative Group Chat Platform https://slack.com/. The WordPress community has its own Slack Channel at https://make.wordpress.org/chat/. login to view. Set one up if you don’t have a Slack account)

We have created a myBalsamiq project for CommHub.

By doing so:

  • Anyone with a my Balsamiq account can help create wireframes.
    If you want to help with creating and modifying wireframes, please create a myBalsamiq account and let me know what your email address is so I can add you to the CommHub project team.
  • Anyone can go and review and comment on the wireframes created without needing an myBalsamiq acccount. You can do this by just going to https://wp-commhub.mybalsamiq.com/projects/commhub/grid

We also found out that as we are an open sourceOpen Source Open Source denotes software for which the original source code is made freely available and may be redistributed and modified. Open Source **must be** delivered via a licensing model, see GPL. project we can go for a free project plan. I have been collecting everything together ready to send off to them.

The full list of MVPMinimum Viable Product "A minimum viable product (MVP) is a product with just enough features to satisfy early customers, and to provide feedback for future product development." - WikiPedia features which need to be wire – framed are listed on the Google Spreadsheet.

We are continuing with mocking up the MVP requirements using Balsamiq. It would be great to find some UXUX UX is an acronym for User Experience - the way the user uses the UI. Think ‘what they are doing’ and less about how they do it. / accessibilityAccessibility Accessibility (commonly shortened to a11y) refers to the design of products, devices, services, or environments for people with disabilities. The concept of accessible design ensures both “direct access” (i.e. unassisted) and “indirect access” meaning compatibility with a person’s assistive technology (for example, computer screen readers). (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accessibility) / design people involved so if you know anyone who could help review what we’ve created that would be great.

We also worked together to update my very poor attempt at creating a description for the project. Thanks to @mikelking and @shelob9 for helping to review & improve the description.

@camikaos, hope you find the description below ok:
