BluePrints

These are areas of work that need interested developers to tackle.

The Blueprints should act as the ​Requirements specification for Testers to work with.
This could start with a simple ​User Story (or a full ​Use Case)
It can then be mocked-up using ​Wireframes using a tool such as ​Dia, ​Balsamiq or just ​GoogleDoc's new Drawing functionality

We could look at following a ​Behaviour-Driven Development style to formalise requirements whilst still being ​Agile (e.g. using tools like ​pyspec or ​PyFIT).

Joel Spolsky has a good write-up on ​Why to write Functional Specs & ​How

Easy Tasks for Beginners

GIS/Mapping

• Have the GPS Coordinate Conversion Tool support negative numbers
• Replace the Measure Length/Area tools with ​GeoExt.ux
• Option to go Full screen & back
• Popup to add Location via Map
• Sub-folders of Overlays e.g. for:
  • Projects by Theme
  • Projects by Donor

Image Library

• Provide a .represent for the view to display image thumbnail with option to zoom large (such as Fancyzoom)
• Provide a beautiful image viewer to flip between images
• Use Mapping API to display images on Map

Framework

• Improve UI for Many<>Many
  • e.g. Admin Users/Groups
  • e.g. GIS Layer Catalogue (esp FeatureClasses/FeatureGroups)
  • e.g. Messaging Users/Groups
• Postgres Support needs fixing
• Popup to do Advanced Search for a Field (better than simple AutoComplete)
• Port the multi-file upload widget in Bulk Uploader from Ext-2.2.1 to Ext-3.2.1
  • Finish this app
