Objectives and Tasks for Javul.org

Performance-Based System for Electing Better Leaders
- Simulate group work and create more detail for how the website should work

(Temp) Upwork stuff, to do

Make Goals for now: Need to make system ready for the OpenGov app and the Good Deeds app
- Task management system. Need to test system with test participants using demo Unit (for good deeds app)

Do a study on software/apps/websites related to Politics and Govt, see what exists and what is needed. Make a detailed analysis of these apps, or at least the major aspects and features of each item
Take stuff from Software Development Tasks and move to Github as needed
Expand Transport App, Report a Problem App, Open-Source Language Learning Software, Good Deeds app
Look at current list of issues (the ones marked Purple) and resolve
Get Task management working, along with forums, wiki, chat. Reward-based project for finding and fixing each bug

Create new page related to 'External Initiatives for Better Government' (link to page on Apps, and take stuff from External Initiatives)
Clean up Possible Initiatives - Highlight important initiatives. Create short names for all other initiatives, create categories.
Add additional links and organizations to External Initiatives (check their Links pages, search on the internet). Find more people to contact.
- We need a some detail on what projects these other organizations are doing and see if anyone is doing anything similar to the app that we want to create to track performance of leaders
Populate Unit Categories on the main website (need to cover most types of Units)
Tagline: Create a Tagline for the site and add it on every page of the main site and the doc wiki
Help information for Users: Create Help information on various locations to help users understand the site, and how to work with Units, Tasks, Objectives, Issues

These are some top-level objectives for us. The Tasks above will help complete these objectives:

Functionality: Make the Javul.org ready for handling small units + Make our first Unit
- Do a study on software/apps/websites related to Politics and Govt, see what exists and what is needed
- Start working on our Political Performance Metrics app (keeping the above in mind). For further feedback, post a message to the sub-reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/opengov/), ask for ideas.
  - Create requirements, how the app will functionally work. Manage it via the main website's first Unit and get the website's features to work

(Proceed further only when the software is working correctly)

Start work on these important initiatives and start a Unit for them: Transport App (do this first), Report a Problem App, Open-Source Language Learning Software, Good Deeds app
Find other initiatives to work on (open source software projects)
Start work on the "Improving Leadership" initiative (creating a leadership system from the group-up)
Create a successful reward system - Reward System for High-Quality Contributions - not sure when we'll try this, keep it here for now
Create databases of other volunteer/activism related initiatives that use technology (that arent related to politics; since we've already looked at politics by now)

This objectives will always be active:

Software bugs/fixes/enhancements
Keep improving the incentive system that encourages people to perform at their best level in terms of cooperative teamwork, giving good ideas and working hard. This task is critical and needs critical and on-going attention.

Drafts for all objects: Allow users to save Drafts of newly created Units, Objectives and Tasks. Drafts are private by default and will be made public when published.
Share objects. Allow users to Share items (Units, Objectives, Tasks, Issues) on various platforms like Twitter, Facebook and others etc.

Features Unit: bring back the Featured Unit section on the main page. Also investigate featured Objectives.

Good Deeds app: Start work on the Good Deeds app (ask for opinions, get ideas and get work started on it)

(maybe skip for now) Can we link Task upvotes to task rewards? For example if tasks are upvoted by others, the task worker could get higher rewards. However what would the users vote on; how would the reward or bonus points be calculated? See Id12 in Bugs/Ideas
