Jane Sebastian and I (Lillie Chilen) are overhauling the RailsBridge.org website. It will be in a repo under my name until we're ready to get larger feedback on it, at which point, we'll bring it over to the official RailsBridge repo.
Here's where it lives currently: sleepy-atoll-6384.herokuapp.com.
We have some goals for this, including:
- Site should be version controlled and updates should happen via pull requests on a GitHub repo
- Site should look good and be easy to navigate
- Include blog, calendar, donation functionality (blog will likely live on WordPress)
- Live Twitter feed on homepage
- Quick access to workshop materials / curriculum
- Volunteer/organizer interest form
- Clearer path for workshop "grads" who want to get involved
Jane and I are going to work with a few UX / visual design folks to get feedback on what we have so far.
- What's the relationship between this site and Bridge Troll?
- How can we use the Bridge Troll workshop data (historical & new), so things become dynamic moving forward?
- Google map visualization of all past workshops
- Ongoing (non-workshop specific) feedback loop for students & volunteers
- Patrick Leahy did a bunch of visual design work for Bridge Troll. The top mockup on this page didn't work out for Bridge Troll, but is good inspiration for a new RailsBridge.org home page.
