===Action items for this week (optional): Taxi App Analysis===
Our Taxi app project will take multiple weeks (however long it takes to create a good design) so this design doesn't have to be done in a week.
 
These action items are optional for anyone who wants to do this:
* Imagine a publicly-owned Taxi app that is maintained by the public, the drivers and the customers. All the activity takes place on a website
* What would that website look like? Using Google Slides or Google Docs, try to come up with some initial ideas of what you think the website would look like. For possibilities you can look at  [https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1tPpuYZktzO8ioIx-ub1RHaSeQqGFonCNYupeNx1_bbw/edit#slide=id.ge966d842e6_0_357 '''Slide 8'''] of the Project powerpoint but we are not restricted to that. Make your design whatever you want it to be. You can use Google Docs or Google Slides to create a rough visual layout. An example is shown on Slide 4 of the same powerpoint ([https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1tPpuYZktzO8ioIx-ub1RHaSeQqGFonCNYupeNx1_bbw/edit#slide=id.g1062d2d6efd_0_33 '''link''']). You can also take ideas from anywhere else. There are various links in the powerpoint that go to other places.
**Other links for inspiration:
*** https://www.reddit.com/r/uberdrivers/ (they're mostly discussing issues with the app or the business; sometimes people suggest solutions or what they think should be done)
*** https://www.reddit.com/r/uber/ (issues again)
*** https://www.reddit.com/r/lyftdrivers/
*** https://www.reddit.com/r/Lyft/
*** Google search for [https://www.google.com/search?q=uber+lyft+issues&oq=uber+lyft+issues&aqs=chrome..69i57j0i22i30l2j0i390.4112j0j9&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 uber lyft issues] - Articles on the web talking about this ([https://www.npr.org/2021/08/05/1025018864/uber-and-lyft-are-experiencing-a-classic-problem-supply-and-demand example 1] and so on)
We can look at specific issues being discussed on these Reddit and other links and also get some general ideas of what issue reporting and resolution would look like, and what it would look like if there was a community of people working on all the things in Slide 8 of our powerpoint. It might be good to give some example of an issue being reported and how the community would come up with a solution (whatever your understanding of this is).
 
We will review the ideas in the next meeting.

Revision as of 01:16, 28 December 2021

This is a ThinkTank for designing a website that helps people solve problems in society and manage their related tasks and goals and get rewarded for it. See Project Overview (Google powerpoint)

Week 1 (Sunday Dec 5, 2021; 10am CST)

We did:

  • Looked at the Project Overview
  • Planned for working on the Taxi app idea (will last multiple weeks)

The action plan was to research existing Taxi app related issues and imagine how people online would work through those issues.

Week 2

Meeting minutes:

  • Reviewed Taxi App Business mockup home page
  • Issues/Questions raised:
    • Nuno: The difference between Objectives and Tasks is not completely clear and may confuse people
      • Options: (1) Make all these sections collapsible and moveable (2) Simulate the Taxi app business without 'Objectives' (introduce them later if needed).
    • Alex: How would interface work when the business is just being initiated?
  • Group voted for using a forum as opposed to an email list for discussions (request submitted to Reddit to restore /r/Javul sub-reddit which we will use)

Next steps:

  • Continue simulation of Taxi app (go through Ideas, Issues, Tasks)

Week 3

  • Reviewed Taxi App Business mockup home page again
  • Reviewed Mark's ideas
  • Discussed Issue resolution with team and got feedback; creating software spec

Tasks for this week:

  • Analyze other websites to see how they resolve issues

Week 4 (Dec 26, 2021)

Meeting time changed to 9am CST for the convenience of people in other time zones.

  • Reviewed Mark's suggestions for the Issues page (he looked at Stackoverflow, Quora and some of his own ideas)
  • Reviewed Joy's suggestions
  • Decision to continue analyzing Issue handling on other websites (focusing on resolution, answers, responses from people etc and how the best responses are chosen). Thats what we'll do next week.

Next week: Start looking at individual Issue pages and taking a close look at what happens there from Issue reporting to resolution and task creation.
