Hi folks!
First, I know that we talked about Insight calendar use cases before
but I want to twirl up this conversation. Let's see what we've gotten
so far.[1]
There are a few great short term use cases. I installed a basic
calendar on my instance, if you would like to see it, message me. I
think we can reach these "goals". I'm showing a possible solution.
Imagine that you've a content, this contain some useful fields like
content's title, date, team, type, region and release version. In
Views module, you can expose these fields so a visitor can filter
them. I don't dive deeper, it might be boring.
I would like to achieve our short term goals by the end of FUDCon Blacksburg.
Okay, but how can we do it?! It's simple. Talk about it, share your
ideas. We're trying to solve problems but we need your thoughts,
ideas, help.
A stray idea, like drupal office hour[2], I would like to do something
like that, I'll be always available on IRC in an appointed time, I'm
not sure, when it will be. What do you think? Could you join to me in
order to fix bugs / plan / share ideas, codes.
I like the idea of an office hour. We could encourage other people
who want to give input on the calendar project to show up and ask
questions and share their thoughts. Having the office hours would be
more useful if accompanied by blog posts and announcements to tell
people what we want from them.
If you're specifically looking to refine the use cases, you would
probably want to have a list of questions you want people to answer to
help with that refining process. Not just "How can we make a good
calendar?", but rather questions like, "When you are $doing_action_X,
do you generally prefer to do $Y, $Z, or something else entirely?"
