Read moreUser persona for advanced content creator
Last updated by jasonsavino on Sun, 2012-04-08 22:56
As the Curriculum and training group has identified while outlining the various skill sets involved in site creation & use, there's an under-represented skillset in the site creation process: that of the "Advanced content creator". This person has unique requirements, and to describe the requirements, it's first helpful to describe the person / persona. I hope this will be useful not only to the Curriculum & training group, but to other Drupal initiatives related to the Drupal needs of this type of user that is (already, if not increasingly) frequently present at sites deploying Drupal. (Thus the cross-posting to multiple groups.)

Authoring Strategy
Recently worked on a project where the everyone kept saying, "the client will write the content" or "we'll get to content when the site is done". I suspected this was a recipe for disaster and it was. If you depend on the client to write content to essentially "finish" the site it will never be completed.

Below is a chart of Drupal "skill sets", and a table describing them. If you could take a moment to answer one or more of these questions, a lot of people would be grateful.
Questions
Copy and paste these questions into a fresh comment, and fill in your comments/answers!
- Do you think your Drupal related skills/competence can be described by the skill sets?
- Are you hiring Drupal talent? Do these skill sets capture what you're looking for?
- Are you developing your Drupal skills? Do you think these skill sets would help you find skills to focus on?
- Do you feel that any skill or competence is missing?
- Are the titles or descriptions of any particular skill sets below confusing?
- Do you think trying to describe Drupal skills and competence like this would be useful for yourself or Drupal people you know?
We're closed!
Thanks everyone for great feedback! It is being incorporated in the continued work – see the "roadmap" and "skill sets" links in the header for more information. Please post any further feedback there!

Introducing Myself and my somewhat naive ideas about education.
Hello,
First and for all, I am completely new to Drupal, so forgive me if this post is not where it should be.
Let me introduce myself, I'm Jo, a engineering student beginning my final year at the university college.
Let me tell you how I've got here:
This year I have to write my thesis. And unlike the other students I wanted to try on something unusual. Not the imposed corporate thesis proposals but something that could maybe, in some minute way, benefit society more. Read the title, I like to be naive!
IRC discussion about "subject areas"
The work on open curriculum is moving forward, and we're hoping to get some wider attention to verify (and improve) the things we have so far.
Time for the meeting was Wednesday, September 28th, 15:00 Swedish time == 2 PM London time == 8 AM US/Central time. (Sorry for the early US time. And for writing the times in an unclear way.) Place was IRC, on channel #drupal-skillmap.
Notes from the meeting
- "Subject areas" are now renamed "skill sets", mostly due to Itangalo's firm hand on this matter.
