Project 3 documentation draft 2

brantley @ Fri, 09/17/2004 - 18:08

Project:OSDDP Site
Component:Documentation
Category:task
Priority:normal
Assigned:brantley
Status:active

Description

My issue concerns how to post specific content on the site (i.e. projects, issues, stories, comments). This will deal with descriptions of the different features that can be posted and how to use them. Also, there is a need for conditional notifications when posting content, such as insufficient information provided.

I thought it looked really good. Should make for a great presentation. I couldn't find anything that I thought needed to be changed.
Good Job.

The overall presentation was good. However, it was brought up that the requirements to submit an issue aren't very clear and need some defining. Maybe you can look into adding a page for that.

I like this. Very clear and concise.

Looks like a good start, seems clear and consise, maybe adding an interactive tutorial to the end may enhance overall quality. One suggestion is to tweak the color sceme, initial scheme seems bold and abrasive, maybe utilize a lighter tone, get rid of the red.

Good point, Chris. Being visually challenged, I had not thought of it before, but the red does sort of clash with the OSDDP's color scheme. If blue would be boring, maybe grey? or purple?

looks good. as far as presentations go, the pictures are a little too small for reading.

A little vague, but most of them are right now. Might want to cover how to find an issue. Obviously that has been a problem as evident by class today. Other than that I can't think of any further suggestions.

Outline looks great. However, one thing I've always gotten in trouble for in the past is that if there is an a. there should be a b., or an i. must have a ii. I'm not sure it is all that important in this application though.

The outline looked good. It did not contain any extraneous information and was easy to read.

The steps are clear and well organized. just need to add more details otherwise it looks good.

This outline looked good. It was well organized and to the point. It looks like the group has a firm understanding of what they are going to do.

Alex and Becky,
It sounds like your project is going well. Here are some suggestions about the progress report itself.

1) I think it will be clearer if you have one section for the results and a second separate one for future work. That is, split up 2). You do have two paragraphs, but they aren't sharply focused. The second one contains info about both completed work and future plans.

2) I agree with Amaan about adding a bit more to it. Maybe you could explain what your method of breaking down content involves, or include more specifics and more background about what will be in your documentation.

3) Finally, see if you can use fewer to be verbs (is/ was); I think they make your writing become roundabout. I made some specific suggestions with the "Track Changes" feature in Word and will post that above.

The progress report looks good. There was no Gnatt chart attached directly to the progress report. but it is posted...just in a differnt file....but otherwise it looks good.

The task list looks good. Good detailed explanation of tasks.

Nicely written-- exemplary parallelism and good verb choices.

One suggestion: Make your list more specific to your particular project. You could do that by changing the title, and possibly add more details in steps 2 & 3.

I've been carrying around printouts of the task lists and when I first picked this one up, I thought it was for a different project.
