- Joel posted a pseudo wire-frame on Confluence, needs to be reviewed during this meeting
- Discussion on who should generate the wireframe (product owner vs developer)
- Will be iterative, revised as the project goes
- Reviewed current TSSG.Tech website with Lora's changes
- Need to make sure the conventions used on the website are simple, otherwise we are going to lose the visitor's interest
- May change "Testimonials" to Tributes or Recommendations or Success Stories
- Need to fix what happens when you click the button for the page you are currently on
- Icon on button of the page are VERY small on a phone screen. This is a sizing issue on the icon images.
- Review of the Design Guidelines page:
- Concern: "QA Study Group" sounds too limiting, they also contribute to the projects as needed
- Why was Software dropped from the group's name? We don't talk about hardware QA
- Suggested name is "SQA Group", need to talk about this within the QA group on Thursday
- Change Scrum to Daily Stand-up
- Do not like just single letters, too cryptic. Try to do short words instead (Web, Mobile, QA, Big Data, Home)
- Can this be a menu at the top of the page instead?
- Color coding could be problem for people with color blindness
- Should testimonials be put in now or be part of a later iteration?
- Look at the bottom of IBM.com, how it has jump off links in the footer for the different sections that the user can go to
- Also look at Boston-Spin.org for how the header and footer areas are done
- Thinks the centered text is too clunky, need to be very short phrases
- Suggestion to not have testimonials on our site, have a link that goes to reviews on a 3rd party site
- Question: do we want names or not on reviews?
- Need Meet-up integration on the website
- Can embed the Meet-up reviews into the website
- Also add links to the other tools that we use (LinkeIn, Survey Monkey polls, what else?)
- Want the format of the team pages be the same, but the content will be customized by each team
- Do NOT switch colors for each page. Too busy on the page
- Suggestion of a common theme for ALL pages on the website
- Do NOT use different colors until we find a need for using multiple colors (use single color only)
- Goal: to convey information to potential new members and existing members
- Need to get suggestions from TSSG members on what websites they like that have responsive design, what you like about them and you do not like about them
- Next steps:
- Does what is on the website now meet the minimum need of what we have for the website?
- Want to have the MVP website done by next week, review at the Wednesday meeting
- The current tssg.tech is not responsive design, it is just simple HTML
- Do we have a clear enough idea of what is the minimum needed by TSSG as an organization for the website?
- Current website is based on the discussion we had at last week's general meeting
- Current content of live tssg.tech site is the wireframe
- Joel will next move the current tssg.tech into bootstrap. Goal is to turn it into the MVP site
