Community space
Ok, so I think we are just misunderstanding each other, sorry about this. The community workspace was not changed or droped, opencare.cc is the community space as per Nadia’s initial description you quote:
A Project Participation Space (communication to involve new people and understand more about the project) : https://edgeryders.eu/en/op3ncare/home
It seems to me this is a matter of language interpretation, because this hasn’t changed its original purpose…
What we did hide was the standard drupal panel you see when being part of any project group, similar to Open Care research. That one wasn’t meant to be visible at all, from the beginning, because that means having too many spaces for interaction and people getting lost (see my comment above). Yourself included said in Brussels that you find it hard to find info in a group because there is no filtering by topic/ tag.
Which is what you, me and our community will be able to do starting now using challenges as a way to structure the content. Some Challenges are featured in the Challenge page, and what is featured will change often. The whole list of challenges is now visible when you try to Submit a new story and can pick from the list (see main menu on the left).
I tried to explain during our last call that posts can be uploaded as stories in the current community space - for example in your upcoming discussion about prototyping you can have a Challenge formulated to host all content about it.
It will look like this: https://edgeryders.eu/en/frame-your-design-challenge and can contain:
- your introduction to OpenCare prototyping with WeMake (photos, links)
- a call for participation to the community (ask people to upload stories about prototypes; or work in progress, or requirements etc)
- the page will have a Url like for example : edgeryders.eu/en/lets-prototype and all content about hardware prototyping showcased below - so all stories in one place.
One person in your team can of course be given admin rights to upload the challenge. Or one of the existing admins can do it for you.
How does it sound?
Do we need to add this in the Community building manual? Would it help?
