Subject: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Evergreen web site strategic goals and user stories 

Hi all, 

The Evergreen Web Site Planning Team sent a message to this list last month 
seeking feedback to strategic goals and requirements for the Evergreen web 
site. Based on the input we received, the team has revised the goals and 
requirements, and draft 2 is now available for feedback at 
http://evergreen-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=webteam.strategic_goals_requir 
ements. Do you have any additions or suggestions for improvement? Please let 
us know by sending your feedback to the list. 

Also, the team has created user stories to describe tasks that different 
types of users in the Evergreen community may wish to perform on the web 
site. User stories are a method of creating software requirements for 
software applications and in our case, online communities. First, we define 
our web site visitors by grouping them into personas based on shared 
objectives and characteristics. Once we've identified a user persona, we can 
develop "user stories" for the persona. These are sample activities 
representing every task that a user from that role may wish to perform - 
everything from finding certain inforomation to participating in online 
discussions. 

When developing our user personas and user stories, we want to make sure 
that we are satisfying all of the requirements that we defined on our 
strategic requirements page. 

After a comprehensive list of user stories has been developed, we'll work as 
a community to refine and prioritize that list as the next stage in our 
planning process. 

The web team's initial set of user stories is posted at 
http://evergreen-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=webteam.visitor_analysis. Are 
you represented in this list of potential users? Are there sample activities 
we may have overlooked? The Web Team is eagerly seeking additions and 
suggestions from as many people in the EG community as possible; please 
submit your suggestions to the general mailing list. 

Thank you, 
Evergreen Web Team
