Board Updates
- We keep releasing new features every two weeks.
- With around 200 open tickets we can consider that users are able to use lighthouse to request new or improved features.
- Development meetings are taking place each Wednesday at 11am EST time on the #p2pu-dev IRC channel at FreeNode.
- We were able to move the migration to an earlier date (June) as request.
- MoJo learning labs were able to start on p2pu.
- We are trying to involve more people in development related to Badges and School of Webcraft.
- Not enough developers to satisfy the needs/expectations of people using/involved with p2pu.
- Lighthouse helps both to keep track of things that need to be done and to know what is completed each milestone:
- Github stores data about the contributions and changes to the software that supports P2PU.
- We are documenting which features are released every two weeks in the changelists published as part of the development roadmap.
- Launched http://new.p2pu.org: Original idea was to use for beta testing, and plan for migration in July. Response has been overwhelmingly positive, and already more study groups and courses on the new site than the old one. Currently investigating earlier migration date.
- Every two weeks, we release a new version of the site that has lots of improvements and bug fixes. A detailed list of changes can always be found here: https://github.com/p2pu/lernanta/wiki/Lernanta's-Roadmap
- Schools: Provide richer and better integrated set of features for schools. Wireframes and functional design completed. See description here: https://cacoo.com/diagrams/Ly2n5wiuzwpU2uMq
- Study Groups/ Courses: Improve features within study groups. Allow more rich content to be added, and add facilitation features.
- Email Integration: Facilitate the email-based use of the site, comment by email.
- Learning Recognition: Badges and peer-assessment associated with study groups tasks to recognize learning occurring inside the study groups.
- Front-end: Overall look of the site looks nice and clean in major browsers, but needs more testing and adjustment before public launch.
- Migration: Facilitate the migration into the new site.
- Integration with External tools: Support better integration with external tools (more than RSS and embedding).
- Internationalization: Translate the interface into other languages (starting with Spanish)
- Marked increase in volunteer contributions.
-
- Have given commit access to one other developer
-
- Other contributors are sending us “patches/pull requests” (improvements they have made, that we add to the application)
- Source code is hosted on a public repository that allows contributors to help us improve the site.
- Use of a public task tracker (http://p2pu.lighthouseapp.com) to store and handle feedback/tasks (organized by areas/tags and time/release milestones).
- Use of the mailing lists and the new site to interact with the community and the beta-test users.
- Created a study group in the new site that helps potential contributors join the development process (using P2PU to hack P2PU).
- Community calls for real-time discussions.
- Design / Front-end
