25 October Community Call
All Hands

The General Idea: 
We work, for an hour, together, on something. It might be tagging or de-spamming, writing static copy or doing course reviews. If you have something to suggest for one of these sessions, let us know on the Etherpad.

All Hands on Deck

Activity:

• Tagging. Users can't find out courses if they're unfindable. One way to help is to create more tags. 
  • Process: 
  • Log in to the admin interface. Link? Or just our personal accounts?
    • https://p2pu.org/en/admin/
  • Under "Projects"  select "Groups"
  • Click on the numeric code next to a new course. 
  • Scroll down on the description page and the 3rd field from the bottom of the page is the "tags" field.
  • Enter a range of comma-separated tags. 
  • For tagging guidance, check out http://www.flickr.com/groups/central/discuss/2026/ - it's about photos but the general priciples are the same...

• Badge Reviews
• We have a lot of badge submisisons needing review in the Webcraft courses - please take a look at these submissions and start making approvals...
  • https://p2pu.org/en/badges/publishing/submissions/
  • https://p2pu.org/en/badges/hosting/submissions/

• New course UX:
  • Go to http://alpha.p2pu.org/en/courses/create/
  • look around a bit
  • and create a new course at 
  • go to Content(admin) tab
  • add some content and look at the preview
  • Feedback:
    • http://alpha.p2pu.org/en/courses/20/poetry-is-awesome/
      • http://cl.ly/KPmx
  • I have an etherpad with ux notes, will add mine there (I think it's good for people to leave feedback separately)
  • VMG has also left extensive feedback directly to Dirk :)
• Navigation feedback:
  • Tab navigation should be the same even if you go to a content item
  • Q: do we need to always show the course sidebar?
