Development plan

Note time in [square brackets] is an estimate, (hours in normal brackets) on done items is time actually spent.

• 17.5 hrs - early design meetings and documentation - already done

Alpha (19 September)

Delivers a D7 Panopoly-based site based on TN's own new distribution, with component/plugabble (initiative) widget system, internationalisation capabilities.

Done

1. 0.25 Clone winacc_panpoly distribution repo -> rename to transitionnetwork_d7 (1.5 hours) - Distro here: ​https://github.com/transitionnetwork/transitionnetwork_d7

   • Leaflet
3. Set up local development site (1.5 hours).
4. R&D into various aspects: BOA, Leaflet/OpenLayers?, makefiles etc (0.5 hours)

Development total so far: 4 hours

To Do

1. [1] Set up test site on Jim's server
2. [12] Change profile and extend Distro to be TN Hub focused, needs extra key modules including:
   • User profile-related modules
   • Social media login/integration
   • Services modules
3. [0] Look at Debut feature and include where sensible Not needed at present
4. [4] Create Initiative feature
5. [2] Investigate I18n & related language/internationalisation modules & best practice
6. [4] Create User Profile feature (decide approach Profile2 vs core)
7. [4] Create very simple Bootstrap-based theme (little/no customisations)
8. [8] Begin/convert new Widget modules (core, initiative, registration etc) -- see
9. [8] Enable French language and translate some key bits with Google Translate.

3. [12] Test, tweak, prep Beta, install, integrate

Subtotal: 6.5 +/- 3 days (= 52 - 76 hrs)

Total: 18.75 +/- 8 days (= 150 - 216 hrs)

NB: from Ed - Jim - your total time budget is 150 hrs. This gives us 3 days with a second programmer in beta phase (agreed as good idea). Bear this in mind!
