Difference between revisions of "Summer Milestone 2"

Revision as of 19:16, 29 May 2015

This is an overview of the tasks we wish to accomplish this week. You can do whichever ones you are interested in / have time for. They can be found as boards on Trello.

Focus areas for this week are Micro and macro (how can we make our platform scale the whole spectrum of crowd work, from mTurk-like microtasks to oDesk-like macrotasks?) and open governance (how can our platform adapt itself to respond to the needs of users over time?)

Micro and macro tasks

We want to have a clear vision of how our platform can span the whole spectrum of crowd work tasks between mTurk-like micro tasks (ex: image/page classification), through oDesk-like macro tasks (ex: here's my 10 page essay, please proofread and edit it) and everything between.

Open governance

We want to be able to make a reccomendation - will we use direct democracy or representative voting?

We need to get feedback on the two storyboards:

Leadership Board

Participatory Democracy

Please synthesize feedback votes and make a recommendation.

Research Engineering

This week, we plan to build five features (Trello lists), each feature has multiple components (Trello cards). There are slack channels for each feature to help you coordinate:

• Worker Profile: #worker-profile Slack
• Worker Task Portfolio Dashboard: @worker-portfolio Slack
• Requester Profile: #requester-profile Slack
• Requester Task Portfolio Dashboard: #requester-portfolio Slack
• Task Creation Operational Workflow: #task-creation Slack

If interested in working other issues, please check out the Github issues page. When you start working on an issue, link to your fork on the github issues page. If it is a large issue that may require collaboration, create a slack channel for it so others can discuss and collaborate with you, and link to it from the github issue.

Add yourself to this item if you'll be working on this milestone this week. If there's just one of you, you're the Directly Responsible Individual ("DRI") for make sure it gets done. (DRIs are a technique we're borrowing from Apple.) If there are multiple of you, the first person is by default the DRI, but you can decide on anyone!
