Hi Jadrupalites,
The slashroots group will be undertaking the redesign of their website as an open source project, with the full participation of all members of the group. Do I hear you asking what is slashroots and why undertake the project in this way?
Slashroots is a Jamaican developer community. It's aim is to empower members, enable knowledge sharing and provide a platform for their skills to be shown to the world. This is why the community is being engaged in the remodeling of the groups virtual home, www.slashroots.org.
The development of the website will be undertaken in these stages.
- Requirements;
- Design;
- Development;
- Testing;
- Launch.
Work on different areas of the site will occur simultaneously. For example, theming and module development.
How the process be managed
- Google documents will be used to keep a permanent record of the site features.
- Codes will be hosted in a central online repository.
Decision-making will be done using a debate, vote and commit process. Where there is a stalemate the chief organisers will make the final decision.
Stage 1 - Site Requirements
Let us know what you to see on the website? And what content managment software should we use?
Slashroots want to hear from you now!
