Burning Flipside Project

A much-needed MAJOR upgrade for the burningflipside.com website - from Drupal 5.x to Drupal 6.x (or maybe Drupal 7! We'll see how far we get)

Friday:

Caleb, Benji, Mike and Benbot worked on views and got almost all of the views re-created from the D5 site.
Shannou did an evaluation of the website from a User Experience (UX) perspective, and created wireframes demonstrating a new, more streamlined Information Architecture (IA) to make the site easier to use.
Monk & Mike found a kick-ass theme (Paradox) and set it up for the dev site
Benbot worked on flipside flame, added facebook sharing widgets
Benji worked on the warehouse calendar
plus a lot of people learning about drupal!

Saturday:

trial upgrade to D7 - notes added to GDoc
set up openatrium to create a private intranet for restricted-access organizing for lead volunteers and completed functionality to meet requirements to replace og functionality in D5
started on data migration for D5 og data to D6 openatrium site
more work on customizing the theme
finished the warehouse calendar
did an analysis of needs based on UX/IA evaluation/wireframes & created tasks to implement the new IA
started creating views for new IA
recreated volunteering process with "signups" module
create leads menu for easy access to relevant tasks for lead volunteers

Sunday: focus on: testing, permissions, bugs, documentation

switched to a new base theme which is based on drupal conventions, caught the customizations up with the first theme
spec'd out data migration needs, defined a plan

We have a Google Document for shared notes and a Google Spreadsheet for sharing tabulated data.

Websites we’re working with:

(not ready yet) test.burningflipside.com - a copy of the dev site for testers to work with

drupal5.burningflipside.com - a copy of the current site. can be used for reference for anything lost during the upgrade (views, etc.)
