Image Flow Update 21st November

Thanks everyone who attended the image flow meeting! First of all, we’ve moved the meeting to Thursdays 09:30 PST/ 17:30 UTC. We’re sticking with the Google Hangouts for now. When we get on to development we’ll start using 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/. for meetings. On to the meeting!

1. Project Management

@samuelsidler is going to be helping out with project management for image flow. He talked a bit about the process. At the minute the project is quite small but once we start getting in to coding the feature there’ll be lots of different elements to deal with.

2. Prototype

@teamAdesign set up the prototype on GithubGitHub GitHub is a website that offers online implementation of git repositories that can easily be shared, copied and modified by other developers. Public repositories are free to host, private repositories require a paid subscription. GitHub introduced the concept of the ‘pull request’ where code changes done in branches by contributors can be reviewed and discussed before being merged be the repository owner. https://github.com/. It uses Foundation. @sonjanyc is working on building a template for the model. Aris is going to go through and add all of the screens. If anyone is interested in helping out with the prototype please join us in Slack (#feature-imageflow). We’re going to work through individual flows and start testing them on users.

3. Wireframes

@pabloperea is finishing up the desktop wireframes. We discussed a few design decisions:

  • lose the left hand sidebarSidebar A sidebar in WordPress is referred to a widget-ready area used by WordPress themes to display information that is not a part of the main content. It is not always a vertical column on the side. It can be a horizontal rectangle below or above the content area, footer, header, or any where in the theme.
  • try to show the full image in the grid
  • toolbar to the side of the screen in mobile landscape

4. Docs

@azaozz suggested in the Slack channel that a good exercise would be to document the backbone stuff in preparation for the development work that needs to be done on the project. We’re looking for volunteers.
