I am having a quick look through it now and making some minor changes and comments, with a view to @sstead checking and adding / editing anything you deem wise tomorrow Blue text is where i have made some changes that need checking. The revised version will go to the potential user tomorrow and we will all be very happy if they go with OFN. Anyone is welcome to have a look and improve on this as well if you like. It will be a fantastic asset for everyone I think
UK - in absence of @danielle is there someone who can look over this and make sure thereās nothing major missing . . also things that are your priorities for dev in 2017? @NickWeir@lin_d_hop?
Alongside this and to complement, @serenity has suggested that it would be good to do some kind of comparison / review against this excellent resource - http://www.wholesomewave.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Food-Hub-Tech-Guide.pdf to be able to also use this to articulate what OFN can do (now and in pipeline). If you have some capacity @sstead could you potentially have a look at this too?
Myriam - I wonder if it would be useful to send them that doc as well as it may help with their process mapping. and @janina I canāt remember if we already sent it to you or not
Yeahhh, this list is impressive, and I can only applause the Aussie and UK teams who have done an amazing job in putting together this beautiful peace of code
Regarding the attached document, I love it It would be awesome at some point to be able to put together something like that for the Open Food Network as well It would be both a feature list and a user oriented information document, like whatever my type of hub, I can go to the good page and have quick and clear overview of what the OFN can do for me.
I will definitely pass it on right now to our potential user
Ping @Arthur it can also be an inspiration for a French-OFN version of such a document, but letās take it step by step.
Amazing list Myriam! Iāve checked the spreadsheet and made minor amendments/additions. It all sounds logical to me, but Iām very weary that Iām so immersed in the OFN language that Iām not the best gauge of how it will sound to a newbie. But yes, would be great to have a newbie friendly, thorough feature list one day!
Regarding the Making Technology Work For You document, Iāve made a start on comparing OFN to their criteria, anyone can view and edit it in the Global Google Drive.
I put the doc I did on the global drive already, but yes would be great @sstead if you can put yours on it also so that we donāt need to request permission for it But I did anyway!
Thank you @sstead for your feedbacks on the global feature list
Hi all, Iām developing a public facing feature list to be shared on the global site. Itās a bit crazy that we donāt have something like this already. I would appreciate your feedback, in case you think some features should be added/removed. Iām also open to structuring suggestions (how to group features in a meaningful way). @MyriamBoure@tschumilas@lin_d_hop@mags@NickWeir@anyone else who has time.
Weāre also wondering if someone with a knack for graphic design could put this list into a pretty infographic? It needs to be updatable as new features are added. @CynthiaReynolds your name came up If not I can try to put something together on Piktograph (great tool thanks for the suggestion Cynthia).
@sstead Iām a bit confused, when I got the permission to the document I put it on the global drive, but strangely it seems it created another version, so now we have two versions and Iām afraid some people look at a version and some at the other. Iām not even sure which one is the good version.
Can you delete the wrong one, and would you mind putting your document in the Global Drive directly and work from there so that we all access it? Or else just share here the link of the good document and we donāt put it on the global drive but keep the link open so that we can all access it
Sorry for the inconvenience !
Apologies, Iām hopeless at navigating in google drive. @MyriamBoure sorry for the confusion, there are 2 documents. Iāve added them both to the Global Drive folder Feature List Communication.
The first (Making Technology Work For You Assessment of OFN) assesses OFN against the criteria in the Making Technology Work For You document. Itās there for anyone whoās interested.
The second (OFN Feature List ) is an adaptation of the first, to make it more āpublic facingā, in preparation for a feature list that we can share on the global site. This is the doc Iām looking for feedback on, and would like to turn into an info-graphic.
@CynthiaReynolds thanks for your offer of help. Iām not sure if this would be feasible, but one option is for you to design a template and then I could put the majority of the content in to save you time.
@sstead I carved out some time to give it a first whack, feedback welcome
I tried to keep it in line with the Brand ID. If you had a different vision, just let me know.
@CynthiaReynolds great work, really like this idea Couple of thoughts:
The red boxes of ācoming soonā features are pretty bold and draw the eye more than the ticked points that are existing features. Just wonder if this should be de-emphasized a bit?
The line spacing seems narrow particularly where there are paragraphs of text.
Wow @CynthiaReynolds that was speedy! And itās beautiful! Would it be possible for me to have the login so I can update it as features are added? No worries if not. Also Iāve added it to the global site in a new page (not yet linked anywhere,so not publicly viewable). Itās one big PNG image, is that the best way to share it? It looks good on desktop but a bit fuzzy on mobile view. Any suggestions? Should I break it into smaller images? Also open to suggestions for where to locate it in the global site. I was thinking as a link away from the current Features page as a ādetailed software specsā link, but open to suggestions. Many thanks again!!
You also have the option of using the embed code directly from piktograph, but I find it can be a little wonky on loading sometimes. Will send it via email. It may provide a better mobile experience.
I think your suggestion of linking from the features page works. Long term we may want to consolidate some of the information on the current Features page into the various Food Hubs, Food Producers and Food System Partners pages and maybe the top menu link on Platform (the last of which seems to link to the Producers page) but that is a much bigger job! It could also be interesting to take those roles and produce a flow chart style infographicā¦ but something tells me I should stop there The other option is making it the Platform page with an extra link from the features page.
Blue text is where i have made some changes that need checking. The revised version will go to the potential user tomorrow and we will all be very happy if they go with OFN. Anyone is welcome to have a look and improve on this as well if you like. It will be a fantastic asset for everyone I think
