Thanks everyone for coming to the very first meeting about image editing. It’s excited to have a group of people ready to tackle this! The video of the meeting is here. Here’s what we discussed:
Name: Our name is “Image Flow”
Scope: The scope of the project is to look at how we can improve image flow in WordPress, including uploading and editing.
Process
The process will go in the following stages:
1. Research: (Current Phase) – competitor analysis, user interviews, personas, document current workflows, ideal workflows
2. Wireframes: proposing different wireframes for the plugin
3. Development: coding a crazy storm, testing, feedback, iterating
Current Tasks
Current tasks are as follows:
- interviews: @mor10 is working on user interviews (3 completed so far). We would like five or six. @mor10 to either complete all interviews or make interview questions available in Google Folder and delegate
- personas: @sonjanyc is taking point with personas. The persona is to be updated. Info from @mor10‘s user interviews to be integrated with the personas
- competitor analysis: Daniel is taking point on carrying out the competitor analysis. In the first stage this will focus on how other platforms deal with image uploading and editing.
Ongoing tasks
- information organisation – Daniel will be responsible for ensuring that documentation in the Google Folder
Tasks we need help for:
–interview write-ups: someone need to watch @mor10‘s videos and write them up for make/ui. The write up should include: 1) a summary with info about the type of user, 2) a list of problems encountered by the user, 3) suggestions for improvements that would help that user.
–document workflows: we’ve created a list of tasks that a user would do in the image editing workflow. It would be useful to document these with screenshots. By working through the workflows we can identify stumbling blocks.
Resources
I won’t be here next Friday (holiday!!) so I appoint @mor10 to set up the meeting. Please check in with progress and to see if anyone needs help. If anyone needs set up on make/ui please bother @samuelsidler 🙂
