User Base Diagram Followup (Paul/John)
- Got several different forms of graphic from different people, both on the Board and elsewhere
- Paul met with Mo Duffy to see if she could help us with putting together a diagram
- Showed her the different inputs
- A lot of different purposes; might need more than one kind of graphic
- Wanted to show magnitude and input of different components of user base
- Looked like other graphics that describe "communities of practice" with smaller subsets towards top
- Movement upward is problematic since bottom might be viewed as "bad"
- Time progression not very useful/accurate in many cases since people can move around
- Circular diagram gets rid of most of these problems, can portray the same ideas
- Mo interested in ascribing different kinds of people to areas, hoping to get her to reiterate on advisory-board@fp.org
- mdomsch: How does this try to address individuals in multiple roles simultaneously?
- pfrields: Difficult to capture in diagram itself, but may be addressed in narrative around it
- Need to have a central purpose to create a clear diagram--we need to be clear on what that purpose is
- There are other models already that show how people change involvement/skill in open projects -- this diagram is clearer if it's simply about magnitude of different groups of people and how they affect each other
- NEXT ACTIONS
- Paul to create a new version of the diagram
- Post to advisory-board list and request additional feedback from Mo Duffy
Spins (Colin/Matt)
- update Unfinished_Board_issues (
- move to finished section and tie out page references
- SWG believes all Spins issues have been discussed and resolved to the best of our abilities
- NEXT ACTIONS:
- Move action items and links to the Finished section to show where we've identified specific issues and are pursuing them with definitive fixes/actions
Work on the Default Offering (Paul/Colin)
- User:Pfrields/Desktop_user_experience_designers
- Since we don't have a group of full time designers we rely on a groups of users with common interests
- How can we get more designers involved?
- Existing page does not seem to directly answer the issue/question being asked
- NEXT ACTIONS:
- Paul to work on an updated version and send out to everyone today
Next Meeting Topics
- As a group we updated Unfinished_Board_issues with the latest information
- SWG has only two remaining topics to resolve
- Once the remaining topics are resolved the SWG will officially disband
