History: CLWE Barn Raising Jan 2008

Source of version: 3

A barn raising session for the ((Cross Lingual Wiki Engine Project)) will be held on Jan 6 in Montreal, at [http://example.com|La Bande Passsante]. This will be part of [http://wiki.facil.qc.ca/CodeFest2008|CodeFest phpQuébec 2.0 Edit].

The bulk of it will be a collabortive planning session where we will try to figure out exactly what we want to build, for who, and where is the core business value of a Cross-Lingual Wiki Engine.

But if all goes well, there will be time for some coding in the afternoon. 

__Agenda__

9h30 -> 10h00 Booting up (informal)

10h00 -> 10h30 Wiki-translation.com presentation (Alain Désilets)
* Why should we do this project?

10:30-12:00: User-Centered Design Exercice (~ 90 mins)
* StoryBoarding: Participants tell stories where a particular user working in a particular organisation uses the system in a particular way to meet a particular goal (~30 mins)
* Based on these stories, we generate:
** List of __Typical Organizations__ that might use a Cross Lingual Wiki engine, each for specific goals (~15 mins).
** 
** List of __Typical Users__ and their respective goals (~15 mins)
** List of __User Tasks_, i.e. a list of typical things that the user needs to do WITH the system in order to meet his goals 
** __Product Vision__: A paragraph that describes the product. Who is it for? What does it allow them to do? What is its competitive advantage compared to similar products? (~15 mins)

12h00 -> 13h00 Lunch

13:00-13:30: Release Planning (~30 mins)
* Figure out an order in which to implement support for the __User Tasks__, so that we can very early on support end-to-end transactions that provide a high business value.

13:30-14:30: Technical Architecture planning (~ 60 mins)
* UML diagrams, that sort of thing, in order to visualize the main building blocks that will be needed.
* What are the technical "gotchas" that we need t be concerned about, and how can we avoid them?

14:30-16:30: Coding (finally!)
* We divide __User Tasks__ from the top row of the __Release Plan__ among participants.
* Those who know how to code in Tiki start implementing support for a particular __User Task__. Those who can't pair program with those who can.


16h30 -> 17h00 Conclusion & wrap-up (evalution of CodeFest and discussion about topics for next CodeFest)

17h00 -> 20h00 Informal shutdown (maybe dinner at a pub?)
