[Chandler-dev] requirements

[Katie Capps Parlante]

Hi Praj,

The work of the PPD team is shifting to evangelism and marketing 
activities -- this is where we need the most help. Some thoughts about 
PPD related projects you could start on/contribute to:

- Create a demo script and/or a screencast of a demo
- Get testimonials from users: text and/or video
- Answer questions of users on the users list and/or on IRC
- Write blog posts about Chandler and/or comment on other blogs
- Write up feedback from users on the new website designs that Mimi is 
working on (once she sends them out)
- Wiki gardening (maintaining and cleaning up the wiki)
- User documentation

Several of these projects assume that you are familiar with Chandler and 
using it regularly -- so that is perhaps a first step.

The PPD team is also taking on more QA responsibilities. Another project 
would be to figure out how to get more community help from people doing 
testing, and how to make that help more efficient -- writing up test 
scripts that people can follow, figuring out mechanisms for people to 
share information about what they have tested, etc.

These projects might not line up exactly with your previous experience, 
but they are the kind of help needed at this time. Do any of them sound 
interesting to you?

You could also propose other evangelism/marketing related projects.

Cheers,
Katie
