"Can we [manage][..] this? - Yes we can!" :)
Well, first it would be nice, if this is on a weekend (so i'm able to
participate in real and not only virtually ;) )
Then it would be great, if this meeting is near a youth hostel (German
"Jugendherberge") (e.g.
http://www.jugendherberge.de/de/jugendherbergen/visitenkarte/jh.jsp?IDJH=479)
A few of the main topics could be:
- designing a default UI for T3 4.1 ++
|- create the design of a T3 dashboard
|- create the design of a sidebarpanel
|- examinate how different menu ideas influence the daily work of a T3 user
- creating a general skin concept to connect the skin to the core
|- create the concept of a T3 dashboard
|- create the concept of a sidebarpanel and discuss on how to connect
this to the menu and the dashboard
|- discuss on what of a skin has to be coded in a skin extension, and
which things are core. (e.G.: the ajax menu of the last opened documents
should be created as an array or something else by core, but displayed
by a skin) (how far can the process of creating new skins be simplified)
...
Greetings
