I'm still a bit unclear on how
this all works, and what information we need to put together to make
sure that this is both a fun and useful experience for all. So sure we
can do it ... let me know what are the next steps :)
This is new to everybody and we are ironing details as we go. For instance, I just added
a section "Requesting a slot" to the page above.
The week of Feb 25 is about manual testing. The first thing is to define a goal. Weeks
ago you mentioned Image Uploader as a candidate for testing. Is that still the case?
Otherwise let's find the right feature.
I'd rather go for smaller & well defined goals rather than broader and more
ambitious. Especially for these first iterations where we are the first ones learning and
when so much specific effort needs to be put in every week. After a first mobile week it
will be easier to plan accordingly for a next mobile week.
By Feb 25 we should have two image upload workflows on the mobile web: uploading and
inserting images directly into an article, and uploading from the side navigation panel
and donating the image to Commons. The latter will be much easier to test, since the
former requires finding an article with no images, then adding an image that's
appropriate for the article in question. The latter can be any image, really, as long as
it's not copyrighted. Both of these will require users to be logged in.
I'd suggest that as a first pass we simply invite users to kick the tires with a
variety of devices/browsers on the upload-from-sidebar -- only top shelf brands are going
to offer full upload functionality, but it would be good to make sure that older
devices/quirky browsers decay gracefully and don't introduce any unexpected chaos.
Does that sound reasonable? I'm new to this, too, but very interested in seeing how it
goes! :)
