drupal8

Hey -

I was wondering if anyone in the community would be interested in meeting up this weekend to help me (and anyone else) get their hands dirty in Drupal 8? I have a version of Drupal 8 installed (I'm sure it needs to be updated) and I'd really like to get involved and contribute something... but I don't know what I'm doing. :/

I was thinking maybe a coffee house someplace either Saturday or Sunday afternoon?

Let me know if anyone is interested.

Drupal 8 Content Experience: Accessibility Findings

Goal

To conduct accessibility evaluation of Drupal 8 focussed on the content authoring experience (create content and edit content)

Methodology

The study was conducted in July 2013 in two phases:
Phase 1: Evaluation with volunteer Drupal users with accessibility needs. The participants were given the testing script with scenario and were asked to report their feedback
Phase 2: Conduct 3-participant moderated usability study consistent with the testing script (mentioned above).

I am just wondering if the quiz module will be ported to drupal 8 when finally released hopefully by August, and what should be our expectations (functionalities and performance)?

Thanks

Top issues T-10 days to feature freeze are..

Kris & trusty d8 helpers have made some good progress with some tough architectural issues. But, some big challenges remain, and there's a long road ahead to get to the finish line with a UI for layout management.

Check out the latest news from Kris about the layouts initiative: http://drupal.org/community-initiatives/drupal-core#layouts

I've updated CMI info thanks to Greg, check it out here: http://drupal.org/community-initiatives/drupal-core#cmi

He's working through some pretty big architecture options, and the community has been awesome about stepping up and supporting this initiative - so huge thanks to you all for keeping so many balls in the air!

Hey everyone,

FYI D8MI information was just updated on the d8 updates page! Go check it out: http://drupal.org/community-initiatives/drupal-core#d8mi

Gabor is working hard with some awesome people (Jose, YesCT, Sutharsan & some cool people in switzerland -- I'm looking at you), and you can find places to help him the most here: http://hojtsy.hu/d8mi/focus

Hop to it!

After talking with Karen at the Midwest Developer Conference I am very excited to help out working on bringing the date module functionality into Drupal 8. There is a lot of work to do in order for that to happen. We need to:

• Separate the code that can become a Component from the code that needs to be Drupal specific
• Separate the code that needs to be a library (PSR-0) and the stuff that needs to be in the module directory
• Separate the code that should be put into core from the core that will live on as a community-driven module.

Feature Freeze is creeping up on D8 faster than you think, so now's a great time to go check out how to help D8 core development initiatives!

Read all about it here: http://drupal.org/community-initiatives/drupal-core

That page will tell you:
- what D8 Initiative owners and contributors are up to
- the most important places you can help right now
- thank yous to special snowflakes who have helped
- general information and links for each initiative

Though Initiative Owners are doing a fantastic job of keeping up with their individual initiatives, we've recently heard that the community would like more visibility on D8 progress in general. We've been trying to find the right format and we've got something for you to check out! http://drupal.org/community-initiatives/drupal-core

The D8 team of Initiative Owners and its supporters want to make it easier for you to find the most important issues to work on, so we've put together a summary page that we'll be updating it every two weeks, and more frequently on an as-needed basis.
