Subject: [phoenix-epic-dev] EPIC Themes
and Priorities
All,
Based on last Thursdays call, I
took the action item to draft a proposed set of Themes and
Priorities. Based on this strawman people can provide feedback
on prioritization of the items. If you think I have missed something,
please feel free to add it.
I'd like to stress that this is
a high-level document, not meant to provide specific agreement on
implementation details. At this time I think we should focus on
the high-level themes, not the actual implementation. I have also
tried to attach a measurable metric to each theme, so we can understand what
success is?
I believe the next steps are for
people to provide feedback on the priorities. I would suggest
that for each theme you rank it +1, -1 or 0. +1 means you think it needs to
be implemented in the next 6 months; -1 means it does not need to be
implemented in the next 6 months; and 0 means if we have time and
resources, lets try to implement it. To make the process
more challenging, I would suggest that each person can only use four +1
votes.
High-level
Themes and Priorities
1. Theme: Improve Usability for
users of EPIC to make it easier to find/search plug-ins and relevant
information
Goal: Should be able to go from
the home page to a specific plug-in in two
clicks.
2. Theme: Re-design home page to
provide more emphasis on plug-ins
Goal: Emphasis of home page
should be less news and forum focus and more on content (ie. plug-ins and
services)
3. Theme: Add services/training
component to EPIC
Goal: Have 10 services/education
providers listed on EPIC by end of 2006
4. Theme: Increase visibility of
Member plug-ins
Goal: Raise the level of
visibility/awareness of plug-ins that are from member companies. This
should lead to additional traffic for member plug-ins and additional members
listing their plug-ins
5. Theme: Increase number of
plug-ins / Provide view of plug-ins from multiple
sources
Goal: By end of Q1 2007 EPIC
should have 900 plug-ins listed
6. Theme: Add organization view
to EPIC
Goal: Add the ability to view
EPIC content by organization. Currently you can only view by plug-in
listing.
7. Theme: Make it easier to use
EPIC with the Eclipse update manager
Goal: Provide a listing of
update sites that are related to the plug-ins listed on
EPIC
8. Theme: Encourage other
contributions to EPIC from other community
members
Goal: Have new individuals
contributing resources that extend the capabilities of
EPIC
NOTE: I would suggest we include
things like Job Posting, Speaker Center and Partner Program items
listed on the wiki
9. Theme: Increase traffic to
EPIC
Goal: Increase traffic to EPIC
by 20% by the end of 2006
10. Theme: Outreach
Programs
Goal: EPIC would enable the
creation of topical communities who desire to form a community, network with
other individuals of similar interest and
values.
