Week 6 - Improved Mockup designs

Hi Everyone,

A change has been made to the final wording to be used in the HOT tasking manager and HOT Website for the various descriptions. 

Task - The spatial units a contributor is asked to work on one at a time. Those units may be squares (grid cells) or arbitrary polygons. Each is expected to be finished in less than 2 hours.

Project - An area divided into smaller pieces (tasks). For example,  http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/805

Program - Something with a specific goal, it might be related to a specific crisis or disaster preparedness project. For example, Ebola or Typhoon Haiyan.

We have designed the mockups of the HOT TM v2 homepage. After discussing with the mentors, we came up with the below designs. On the main / first page we thought to have the list of programs, on which the user can click to go to the list of the projects of that particular program aka second / target page. On the main page, we also have a button to view the complete list of projects without selecting any program.

The user can apply the filter on the second / target page to view the list of project as per their needs on the basis of filtering categories mentioned in the mockup design.

I'm glad to see a lot of reviews and discussions mentioned on these mockup designs of the HOT Tasking Manager v2 homepage. Thanks to all the community members for expressing their views and providing with your comments.

Cheers!

Updates on Week 4 and 5

Hello Everyone,

A very Happy New year 2015 to all of you...!

So, we have finalised the new wording for the various descriptions used in the HOT tasking Manager and HOT Website. Please see the below wording along with their descriptions:

Task - The work each mappers is asked to do. For example: map the roads and buildings.

Tile - The spatial units a contributor is asked to work on one at a time. Those units may be squares (grid cells) or arbitrary polygons. Each is expected to be finished in less than 2 hours.

Project - An area divided into smaller pieces (tasks). For example, http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/805

Program - Something with a specific goal, it might be related to a specific crisis or disaster preparedness project. For example, Ebola or Typhoon Haiyan.


Also, I have worked on designing the mockup for the HOT Tasking Manager v2 homepage, with the required features. The mockup needs to be reviewed by the mentors and has to be finalised before working on the implementation.

Though this a rough design and requires improvement after receiving the feedback from the mentors and the HOT community members, you can have a look at the mockup design for the HOT TM v2 homepage below.

In this week, I will be working to finalise the mockup design of the HOT TM v2 homepage and then work on the Backend (design mostly for the database) and after that, would be starting with the implementation.


Cheers,
Nitika
