Codeathon Projects

Since we expect GHC2010 Codeathon participants to reflect diverse skills and expertise, we have identified a range of projects. Regardless of the amount of coding needed, all of these are useful!

Projects that do not involve programming

Provide feedback on an existing Eden module

  • Role-play being a user:
    • Try it out.
    • What do you expect it to do?
    • What features would you want?
    • What do you think the workflow should be?
  • Improve it:
    • Try to break it. Report bugs.
    • Document the existing workflow.
    • Develop a how-to guide for users.
    • Write tooltips (help info) for fields on forms.
    • Request features.
    • Suggest improvements.
  • How to report bugs, make suggestions, etc.:
  • Modules that could use some usability improvement:
    • All of them. Well, ok, try these:
    • Mapping
    • Shelter registry
    • Hospital registry
    • Person registry
  • New or unfinished modules that would benefit from feature and workflow suggestions:
    • Logistics
    • Volunteer management
    • Messaging
    • Rapid assessment tool
