Documenting a focus

Preparing

To start let’s look at some examples which could fall into ‘Focus’:

  • A11yAccessibility 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).

Writing

  • Create a new page for the focus and link under handbook section ‘focus’.
  • In that page have:
    • Title of that focus.
    • A description.
    • Who is currently working on this.
    • Timeline if known.
    • Links to all places the work is going on.
    • Space for updates with dates.
    • Note a #tag to be used on make/design so people can follow all conversations.
  • Publish page and put in handbook categoryCategory The 'category' taxonomy lets you group posts / content together that share a common bond. Categories are pre-defined and broad ranging. ‘Focuses’.
  • Add a link to that page in the front page in Focuses table.

As work happens the person would perhaps:

  • Add a prototype.
  • Add a link to usability testing.

Once the focus is finished:

  • Remove link from the front page Focuses table.
  • Link page in the archive of Focuses page.
  • Remove category ‘Focuses’.
