I was musing randomly while talking to Aurélien earlier. What would
you guys think about putting together 2-3 short videos, after Flock
and based on content in the sessions there, to advertise Hubs as a
project for contribution?
I was thinking each video would be about 60-90 seconds long. It would
pick a specific use case or user problem, and show how Hubs solves it
by showing the user walking through the process -- thus making
contributor onboarding or access easier. At the end, a call to action
for interested developers to meet the team and get involved. Include
a short URL that points to the right resource to do that.
I'd be willing to help pull together a couple videos like this, as
long as the team helps choose/describe features, approving the script,
and so forth. What do you think?
I absolutely love this idea. Some ideas as to what the videos could involve:
- Video 1: What is Hubs?
Points to hit on:
- FLOSS project built on top of messaging bus using python/flask
front end
- An intranet to help coordinate comms / collab across an open source
project
- A way to provide a consistent contributor experience across
projects / teams, making it easier to onboard new contribs
- A unified front end for contributor work flows across disparate
systems / resources
- Video 2: Core Hubs technology
- Can talk about the back end
- Can talk about the front end
- Can talk about how we're implementing chat using matrix
- Can talk about how the bookmarks bar is meant to work
- Can talk about the core UI concepts: feed widget, sticky banners,
personal vs team/project hubs, the right widget sidebar, messaging system
- Video 3: How do I set up a Hubs dev env?
- Video 4: How do I build a widget for Hubs?
- Video 5: Where is Hubs going?
Should talk about our roadmap and how we try to focus development on
specific user / team workflows, going team-by-team as we build it out.
Do these seem like a good way to break it up or will they be too long?
