phase one is a One and Done Project

Why we're doing this?

We want all AboutUs staff worldwide, to be familiar with consensus polling, when it's a good idea to create a new consensus poll, how to create a consensus poll, what the roles are, and how to talk about the whole process and share it with others.

It will be done when:

All aspects of consensuspolling are clearly defined on the site and all staff have the knowledge that they need to become ConsensusPollEnthusiasts whenever they desire

Defining ConsensusPollRoles:

Clearly documenting the whole process in a tour on the WikiAnatomy page

  • really rough draft of tour framework
  • flesh out the tour with
    • why are we doing this?
    • working document
    • static contract - how we know when we're done
    • yes/not yet status area
    • yes meter, once we get to that
    • discussion section
    • etc

phase two is an Ongoing Project

Why we're doing this?

In order for consensus polling to reach it's full potential as a disruptive technology, we need to go far beyond staff, to all ActiveUsers, and even the public at large.

It will be done when:

Once we're ready, AboutUs will devote some mainpage and/or sidebar space to consensus polling

Discussion

Some of the content on this page is confusing to me. I agree it is important for Aboutus Staff to become very familiar with the consensus polling process if it is to make headway – but then comes the question of how to educate the larger populace, the community about the process? Without the latter happening how can it make a big impact? To me, this seems to be a “how does one generate publicity about this new process?” problem. In such regard at the current Aboutus web site it it too hard for new people to discover this topic.

I could make an argument as to this function being important enough to command key home page real estate, similar to the “edit” function and button. Without similar visibility I suspect gaining awareness will be a tough go.

I can see management saying, “adding a new function button like this on the home page is a major step” – and not one they would take lightly. So why not creation of a “Sandbox” for people to test out, that is a mirror image of the homepage, but with proposed new buttons or features, so folks can actually test drive and give input before shifted to the actual homepage?

Martin, I love your idea here, to extend this project far beyond it's current scope. Totally awesome! I'm going to make the change now. Please feel free to take this page and run with it. There's no reason phase 2 has to wait for phase 1. TedErnst

Ted, you say "I'm going to make the change now" Where can I watch where you are doing this change - or perhaps this involves work you must do that is not on a wiki page? MartinPfahler
