This is unfortunately a bit centralised now. Basically we need to have a central team who create boards for new projects. That won’t scale well past a few hundred active users, so we’d need to automate creation of the things required which are:
A project card containing:
- a header image
- a short project overview (around 50 words)
- a google drive folder where resources can be stored
- a link to a Trello board pre-populated with a structure and generic cards to guide the beginning of creation
- a link to a forum sub-category within the ‘projects category’
- the ability to add 2-3 other direct links to useful resource, like a poster
Currently i create a card in Trello’s backend that creates a card at action.focallocal.org. I then create all the required links. The forum creation will be easily automated with v2 of the Docus integration
The plan is that the action center houses a set number of projects and global happiness flashmobs based on user base.
for example: number of active users / 50 = spaces for projects currently being built
This is to focus attention on building.
(i’ve removed Github as i don’t think this team needs to engage over there. probably easier for you to post improvements to the devs and let them add it to Gitub)
