Resources/Instructions

Google Docs Launch Plan

[henlatourrette]

We are thinking on adding new issues to create logos for the brand new automations we have as proposals.

[superbunker]

Will prepare a visual timeline of launch schedule at next product meeting

[henlatourrette]

I just read about this site about press releases that could be useful for promoting our website: https://www.helpareporter.com/

[henlatourrette]

We believe it's a good idea to focus mainly on the HfLA community. So, in order to add new automation we could just go and talk to the other projects and ask one by one about automation they might be requiring or already using that we can have on our repository.

We need to make sure Mobile design is included in the UAT as well.

[henlatourrette]

We need to make a list of the pages that need to be finished for launch -> and to define what's a blocker and what's a nice to have.

[henlatourrette]

Ideally, we need to take 10mins each meeting to check the plan and see where we are at

[superbunker]

Might be best to move the plan into the initial post, so the to-do items are tracked

[superbunker]

Added finishing all the MVP guides to the checklist

[superbunker]

Checking off Press page, although there is a layout bug with wide screens #401

[superbunker]

We're down to small bugs and quirks (eg: team page top border, mobile menu behavior.)
Phase 1 development is done.
