Next community project is on the horizon - the relaunch of the django CMS website
With the formation of the django CMS Association last year, we have given the django CMS project a new boost. Now it's time that this new page in the book of the django CMS project is also reflected in a modern website.
For this project, we have outlined the following process (WIP):
Stage 1: Product positioning
- What is the goal of the website?
- Research best practices & competitors
- Collect feedback from the community
Stage 2: UX + wireframes
- Create sitemap
- Create wireframes
- Collect feedback from the community
Stage 3: Design
- Creation of the design based on the wireframes
Stage 4: Plugin architecture
- Define CMS plugin architecture - usually takes 1-4 hours, but has a huge impact on usability, and can be done by senior django cms developer
Stage 5: Implementation
- Strong involvment of the community
- Estimated time: 80-200h
For Stage 1, 2 and 4 we have already formed a small team that is going to work on these tasks. Stage 3 and 5 will need strong support from the community. Once we have reached the design phase (stage 3), we will start with a broader call to arms campaign to attract more contributors and supporters.
