Sakai 3 Early Adopters Release UX Requirements

Sakai 3 Early Adopters Release UX Requirements

Feb 11, 2009

In Progress...

An attempt to capture and organize the priorities and tasks required for the mid-2009 Sakai 3 Early Adopters Release.

Priorities (overall for pages/areas? for requirements, one flag per organization?):
= Must-have
= Nice-to-have
= Not necessary for now, but for future phases of Sakai 3
= Not necessary (that's a -1, eh? so say why...)

Status:
= done
= not sure if it will be done (note on why?)
= won't be done

requirements?

Appearance

 

 

  • control over an icon for the top-left corner of page?

  • other requirements?

Profile

 

Keli

  • Is the current implementation good enough?

  • what are its requirements?

  • Requirements:

    • My Profile Widget

      • generic widget wrapper capabilities (e.g., close, minimize, settings), which presumably are being designed in a different part of the UX effort

      • link to full page view of Profile

      • display a limited set of profile data: name, on-/off-line status, status message

      • status message should be editable

      • display summary of connection requests

      • NEW: control over who can see your on-/off-line status (what sort of control is needed? by group? all users?)

    • My Profile Page

      • display all profile data

      • enable editing of profile data. (Is some not editable? Perhaps from external system, or some they are just not allowed to change it.)

      • add new entries for some types of profile data (e.g., Degrees, Publications)

      • upload Profile picture

      • replace existing profile picture

      • Are there other data that need to be in the profile, or is the current set of fields implemented on 3akai good enough?

    • Other pages/widgets/tools/etc. designs that use profile information

      • On top-bar username is displayed; is this the username from Profile?

      • The user who last changed a page has their name and picture displayed.

      • on the People pages

Connections

 

 

from Nathan

  • Need a screen to display users

  • Need a delete or disconnect screen

  • Need to view "connection requests" + approval/denial flow (including email notifications)

People

 

 

from nathan

  • Need a search + search result

  • Will require a user profile screen (see #22).

  • I assume we're dropping ad-hoc groups for now?

 

 

 

  • A way to display system-wide messages that ensures the user reads them before dismissing them. (Part of top-bar notification functionality?)

 

 

 

  • User control over whether their on-line/off-line status is viewable by others? by specific people? by specific groups? by roles?
