closedFeature #689: Badges
Month of LibreOffice contribution
0%
Description
So there is lots of discussion and contributions about badges on #689, how ever we didnt get anything off the ground. I'd suggest to rethink this in a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_viable_product minimum viable product] fashion and try to get something small, lean and mean that we actually can put up the resources for and that we can get the visibility and marketing in place for. Thus we need to limit the scope. As such I suggest to do this timeboxed instead of going for something 24/7/365 running for eternity and start with a set of no more than 10 badges.
So:- Lets timebox this on one month, soon, but not before GSoC is sorted out, so: May or June 2016. Those months are usually slower LibreOffice news wise anyway.
- Lets limit this in scope to 10 Badges, for example:
- Barnstar https://redmine.documentfoundation.org/issues/689#note-11
- Advertised LibreOffice on social media (likely need a wikipage like for barnstars, see below)
- Comfirmed a bug report independently
- Bibisected a regression
- Installled and ran a daily build of LibreOffice and verified a bugfix
- Commited a code change to LibreOffice
- Completed an EasyHack with difficulty "beginner"
- Completed an EasyHack with difficulty "interesting"
- Translated/Localized a string for the LibreOffice UI
- Helpfully answered a question on ask.libreoffice.org
- Have a blogpost on the TDF blog announcing the start of the "Month of LibreOffice contribution" on the last day of the preceeding month -- showing the badges that can be earned.
- Have a blogpost on the TDF blog announcing the end of the "Month of LibreOffice contribution" and have two (wiki?)pages:
- One showing each badge, with a list of people who earned that badge
- One showing a "high score list" showing all people sorted by number of badges earned. (Ideally have social media links in there, so people can share their achievement on g+/twitter/facebook)
For the Barnstars we should have a central wikipage e.g. https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Barnstars/2016-05 and let people add a signed "I {name} award a barnstar in May 2016 to {name} for {good deed}.". Having them on personal wiki pages would be too much work to collect. For the first run, all the non-barnstar badges should be for actions that can be extracted without much pain from our tooling, so that we dont bog ourselves down with datamining.
In total we need:- 9 easily verifiable/measurable goals
- a barnstar wiki page
- 10 badge icons
- someone collecting the data in the end
- two blogposts
I assume that is in scope for our resources. Once we have this mini run, we can see how to take it from there (doing another event 6 months/12 months later?, switch to an badges thing that runs all the time etc.) .
