I'm okay with keeping them separate though. 12:16:13 its also how the kernel etc repos are maintained iirc 12:16:25 yeah right .. 12:17:56 okay 12:17:56 moving on 12:18:14 #topic Decide agenda for next meeting (in two weeks) March 5 2012 1200 UTC 12:18:31 we need to begin the actual coding part 12:18:44 I wanted each of us to take a week or two and come up with some mock ups 12:19:28 FranciscoD: html mock ups? 12:19:33 kishan: just images 12:19:37 ok, coding means making those data (html + css) or something else 12:19:40 like the design team makes for anaconda? 12:19:46 oh ok 12:19:57 coding means all of it, css + html + lisp etc 12:20:12 i dont want to jump into implementation without a design in mind 12:20:32 hmm correct 12:20:34 should decide the overall flow. 12:20:51 before actually beginning to code. 12:20:53 lots of things need to be decided actually 12:20:56 the UI 12:21:07 the workflow, how are pages ordered, how are they linked 12:21:10 etc 12:21:41 can we take some UI from previous fedora-tour? 12:21:41 what parts can be interactive needs to be looked into too 12:21:52 praveenkumar: we only made the splash 12:22:00 which can be duplicated easily, 12:22:04 oh 12:22:09 nothing else was done 12:23:03 okay, that means a *lot* is there to be done. :D 12:23:46 well, we are restarting from scratch 12:24:27 I had assumed we'd be reusing some of the old stuff :) 12:24:32 no 12:24:35 not at all 12:24:45 it was pyclutter, how can it be reused in html? :) 12:25:11 I mean the flow, the content, etc. not the code :) 12:25:23 no, we cant do that either 12:25:41 rather, I dont think we want to 12:25:47 why not do it all afresh? 12:25:54 hmm, fair enough :) 12:25:58 we have a bigger team now 12:26:05 back then it was only Subfusc and me :) 12:26:13 so 12:26:17 agreed then? 12:26:23 next meeting we need to all have mock ups 12:26:28 ? 12:26:31 yes 12:26:34 yes 12:27:20 #agreed: Next meeting to be used for discussing ui mock ups and application design 12:27:30 for UI mockups, here's a good link : http://mairin.wordpress.com/2010/01/08/inkscape-class-day-1/ 12:27:57 for the application design, we could use stuff like flow charts, etc 12:28:22 kishan: praveenkumar : the application design, and UI design will be pretty different in our case 12:28:24 ok 12:28:24 hmm 12:28:54 since we have a lisp back end that stays very separate from the final UI the user sees.. 12:29:14 this is going to take work :) 12:29:30 #topic open floor 12:29:40 okay, any other issues? 12:30:04 the UI would be html + css mostly 12:30:07 yes 12:30:16 hopefully, only html and css 12:30:33 hmm ya :) 12:31:07 you folks can subscribe to the milestone calendar btw 12:31:09 FranciscoD: why final UI is different with what user sees, I think lisp is only for merging those files ? 12:31:31 praveenkumar: final UI and what user sees is the same thing 12:31:36 lisp stays separate 12:31:45 (the back end) 12:31:59 the application design will handle the front and back ends 12:32:11 hmm 12:32:15 while the UI design will only handle what the final html stuff looks like 12:32:30 you folks can subscribe to the milestone calendar btw, I'll put up all the agendas etc there 12:32:39 if you use evo/thunderbird/google calendar 12:32:41 sure 12:33:05 damn :/ 12:33:08 kishanok: https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-tour/roadmap 12:33:17 the link is on the end of the page 12:33:29 yes, will do :) 12:33:56 thats all then 12:34:05 if theres nothing more to discuss, we can end the meeting 12:34:19 yes 12:34:39 #endmeeting
