Guidelines

The Drupal Kata is a program that provides training in a wide range of areas ranging from site planning, drafting proposals, project management, information architecture, development, design, infrastructure, to Drupal workflows and community. It does this by pairing apprentices with a mentor or mentors, thus gaining exposure to real-world scenarios and connections with the local and global community.

All approved apprentices will be asked to keep track of the pertinent details about their project in a central wiki page on this group. The following is a template for them to use to do this.

The following is a first stab in terms of establishing guidelines and a workflow for open drupal development. Ideally we can use this wiki (and discussion thread) to hash out a process for the Dojo 2.0. (issue here) and other collaborative projects. This process is geared more towards building a complete site from start to finish.
