This is a recap of the WP Notify meeting held on Monday, January 20, 2020, 14:00 UTC. You can read the meeting discussion here.
Based on feedback received at meetings and comments, we focused on making the Objectives section in the requirements document more concise.
We also added a Use Cases section, based on feedback from the previous meeting recap post.
Use Cases
This is the excerpt An excerpt is the description of the blog post or page that will by default show on the blog archive page, in search results (SERPs), and on social media. With an SEO plugin, the excerpt may also be in that plugin’s metabox. of the “Use Cases” section as compiled by @folletto and @psykro.
Section 2. Use Cases
1. Action required: the plugin wants the user to take a decision, i.e. “you got a comment” (action, notification)
2. Onboarding: the plugin wants to provide guidance on a specific feature, i.e. “try this feature” (action, on-page/notification)
3. Informative: the plugin wants to inform the user about something, i.e. “backup completed” (no action, notification)
4. State: the plugin changes its state, i.e. “settings saved” (no action, on-page)
5. Marketing: the plugins wants to advertise something or suggest an upgrade, i.e. “buy an upgrade!” (action, on-page)
Requesting Feedback
- Should we address possible unintended uses (example: Notifications of subscribe/unsubscribe from site which may include a profane username?) @folletto
- For implementation, should we port notifications (such as marketing notes) only to the user who activated the plugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website. They can extend functionality or add new features to your WordPress websites. WordPress plugins are written in the PHP programming language and integrate seamlessly with WordPress. These can be free in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory https://wordpress.org/plugins/ or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party? @m1tk00
- Further comments / remarks on the 📄 Requirement Document are welcome, and we added appendix references of related projects for inspiration (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1SoIaFqXkXiVzq5mizbZQafMfL36bD0WKj8iwYM823MI/edit#)
Next Slack Slack is a Collaborative Group Chat Platform https://slack.com/. The WordPress community has its own Slack Channel at https://make.wordpress.org/chat/. Meeting
📅 Monday, January 27 @ 14:00 UTC
A note about how we hope to advance the project forward at a steady pace: by working together on the requirements document during meetings, and as time allows in between with comments and channel talks. Once we gather feedback on our goals and actionable steps in the best interest of a merge-able project, then we will progress with next sections of the document and work. @psykro @hrmervin
