{{#eclipseproject:technology.higgins|eclipse_custom_style.css}} This page is a catch-all area of ideas of what we COULD or MIGHT to do improve http://project-higgins.org. What we ACTUALLY plan to do is listed here Higgins 1.1 Plan
Contents
- Change left-hand navigation (i.e. the main site structure)
- Explode "Solutions" into the four "solutions areas": Higgins Client, Identity Web Services, IdAS, Misc
- This means that in place of the one "Solutions" word in the left-hand-nav there would be FOUR there's lots of room)
- Eliminate Solutions 1.0 and Solutions 1.1 pages moving their content into the appropriate sections of these pages (thereby eliminating overlap/conflict with these pages):
- Explode "Solutions" into the four "solutions areas": Higgins Client, Identity Web Services, IdAS, Misc
- Benefits:
- left hand nav would now be CONSISTENT with the home page (three + misc) vertical "doors"
- the whole site would be organized consistently
New Downloads Organization
- Create new download approach
- Design new download approach to meet the needs of different "users"
- Use the Components page as a "download index"?
- Call out "Selected Downloads" (a few easy-to-consume solutions) vs. All downloads?
- Take out a layer. For example, combine the page that lists all the available builds Example 1 with the page that you get when you click a build, that lists the available parts Example 2. This could be done by adding 3 additional links to each row on the first page, and eliminating the 2nd.
- Vet download design with the dev list.
- Develop new content required by download approach
- Implemement new download approach - bugzilla: 218923
- Design new download approach to meet the needs of different "users"
Misc
- Combine volunteer and getting started material
- Clean up website directories when are done experimenting.
- Make the POI and other Higgins papers more visible in own section under news. Don't just bury in press releases.
- Break Higgins based Solutions at the bottom of Solutions page into open source and commercial offerings.
- Revise Charter and update old long description
- Twitter?
Eclipse i-cards
- Creation and use of "Eclipse" i-cards to build community and drive usage experience
- Follow-up with webmaster on specifics of relationship between bugzilla and mediawiki
- Work with ICF and community on error handling for existing MediaWiki ((*Heads up to Charles)
- Work with ICF and community on workflow for RP's
- Propose details of Selectors offered initially and subsequently (Hosted (FireFox or AIR), Digital Me or Higgins hosted??)
- Also create bugzilla RP and distribute widely
- Draft phased proposal for Eclipse (types of cards, systems)
Solutions organization
- Higgins Client
- Selector
- for Andorid
- for iPhone (experimental)
- for Mac
- AIR
- Cocoa

Flash
- Create flash video(s) and make available from a link on the home page.
- Could be several short 60-90 second ones. See two Data Portability videos, one in flash and the other in Blair Witch project style http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TupCZY09Kwc
- Also show at workshops, etc.
- When the site looks good and navigates well and we have a more polished end user experience post to YouTube and blog about it.
- Can we get Derick Ashong to star in a brief video?
Tutorials
(This is much lower priority, requires more maturity)
- Create hands on developer tutorials (i.e. how to add Higgins to my blog, How to hook a silo site up to CloudTripper or whatever...etc.)
Bounties
- Jazz up the request for volunteers with requests for specific bounties (when funding permits)
