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.
