We keep meaning to clean up the front page; we set goals like, "Integrate events with the front page."
Line 21:
Let's step back a moment and make a list of the things we want people to be able to find when they hit the front page. Once we have that list, we can go through the front page and make sure those items are easy to find.
Owners: Karen + Asheesh
* What the heck is this OpenHatch thing about, anyway? Why are people who are looking at our website here?
== Provide a list of upcoming events on the front page of OpenHatch ==
Line 64 ⟶ 29:
OpenHatch is actively pursuing events. I think we should:
* Get upcoming events data out of events.oh.o
* Create a module on the front page that lists upcoming events
* Link to information from the front page about why events are exciting
Owner: Asheesh, unless someone else wants it.
Skills needed: Django templates, plus CSS and a willingness to modify our templates and to accept feedback. The exact styling will likely be dependent on the redesign, but it's better that someone gets the functionality working in the old design (which we can then reskin as needed).
== Finish Missions Pedagogy page ==
Asheesh started a page that is a teaching-style guide for how to write a training mission. I think it should get finished:
* More info: [[Missions pedagogy]]
* Discussion (with no replies yet): http://lists.openhatch.org/pipermail/devel/2011-September/002404.html
Owner: Asheesh (unless someone else wants it, in which case feel free!)
Skills needed: Willingness to think carefully about clarity in teaching.
== Campus Events plan, published ==
Recently on the Events mailing list, Asheesh said he wanted to run more on-campus events to teach students how to get involved with free software. In addition, he said he'd organize an online version of the event before the on-campus ones start.
Let's publish a timeline of when this will happen. That way, we can "show our work" and people can easy see the planned timeline.

Skills needed: Solid understanding of IRC, and willingness to take feedback on the content of the training mission.
== Buildhelper lets you edit via a textarea ==
A new, under-publicized feature of the project pages (e.g. https://openhatch.org/+projects/OpenHatch ) is the "buildhelper," a set of steps a new contributor would take that sets up a usable build environment.
Read more about the buildhelper here:
* Blog post: https://openhatch.org/blog/2010/introducing-the-buildhelper/
* Click around on one that is working: https://openhatch.org/+projects/OpenHatch#buildhelper
Right now, we have a working (and simple) frontend and backend for the buildhelper. However, there is no way to edit a buildhelper document except from the Django admin interface.
I think we should:
* Write code that converts the models to a text-based representation that looks like MediaWiki markup
* Provide a textarea that lets people edit this MediaWiki markup
* On save, render that markup into HTML, and then parse the HTML into buildhelper step objects for the database

== Initial implementation of handler for people who've clicked "I want to help" ==
Right now, when visitors to OpenHatch click a button on a project page indicating they want to help, we add them to a list. We have repeatedly received feedback that project maintainers want the ability to manage this as a queue.
(Recently, we've used the short-hand "IWH handler" to describe this -- "I Want to Help" handler.)
