User group meeting
Time for another meeting to talk about Drupal skill sets and open curriculum – where we are, what is happening and where we want to go.
Meeting will be held on IRC (Freenode), channel #drupal-skillmap.
Date: Thursday December 8th
Time: 8 pm Swedish time (meaning 7 pm London time, or 2 pm New York time) – check http://www.worldtimeserver.com/current_time_in_SE.aspx to calibrate your clock
Things we can discuss:
- Lin's awesome prototype on adding microdata to blogs and things.
- Any skill set descriptions we think should be changed?
- Any skill set descriptions we need to add?
- How's life in general?
- Other things (please post comments if you got ideas!)
This page will be updated with:
- A summary of the meeting discussions
Comments
Timeline
Agreed - we need to develop a timeline- some deadlines.
Itangalo:
By early january:
1) We make flesh out the taxonomy tree for basic/adv. site building, and add it to the broad taxonomy of skill sets.
In 2-3 months
2) linclark sets up an aggregation site
3) tutr.tv, nearlythere and anyone interested starts using the web taxonomy on docs content. linclark sets up a (temporary) site that can be used for adding more stuff, linked from the web in general.
Task: Protoype mock up
Develop a prototype with two end points as a publisher and a learner.
Linclark requests a draft taxonomy, but I can build the module for the skillset Web Taxonomy once we have that
Jacob suggests we outline the taxonomy clearly and then start inputting content attached to those topics to flesh out the demonstration.
Itangalo recommends both basi and advanced site building. Heather agrees, since there is much material and the skills are essential.
All agreed!
what if terms change or are updated/deleted?
what would happen if the sub-terms on a particular term were altered, in name? or even with terms deleted or added?
From linclark:
if their names are changed, then the name would be updated on the local site when the admin ran 'Update vocabulary'
additions to a vocabulary would show up in the drop down automatically
Deletion is not designed for yet.
Heather suggests possibly we could use versioning to control this problem.
Sketch for time plan
Some kind of dream scenario:
1) We make flesh out the taxonomy tree for basic/adv. site building, and add it to the broad taxonomy of skill sets.
2) linclark sets up an aggregation site, to collect content from a few listed sites, based on the web taxonomy
3) tutr.tv, nearlythere, drupalize.me and anyone interested starts using the web taxonomy on docs content. linclark sets up a (temporary) site that can be used for adding more stuff, linked from the web in general – so we can add in content from sites that aren't using the web taxonomy.
Step (1) could be done within a month. Then we try to do as much as possible of steps (2) and (3) within another two months.
Good fit for DrupalDojo.com?
If interested, we'd 'still' love to offer DrupalDojo.com as a testing ground. Documenting the building of this also would make for great learning material.

It would be a great fit for
It would be a great fit for DrupalDojo!
Please keep an eye on this space, and if you can, join the next meetings.
We also need help describing the skill sets.
Documenting the building of
Glad to hear :) I'll be documenting the building of the aggregation site and the publishing tools (parts 2 and 3) as part of my Masters thesis. I think other open source projects might want to replicate it, since the documentation problem we face is one that challenges other OS projects as well.
