Mobilising the Community
Submitter: Ktucker 23:14, 11 September 2008 (UTC) Date Completed: ... Comments:

So far we have had limited success. What are the reasons? How can we be more successful in mobilising the community of educators to help build the curriculum?

Templates for each section of the curriculum
Submitter: Kim 22:21, 5 September 2008 (UTC) Date Completed: ... Status:: Templates created for modules and activities. Need to deploy them consistently on Activity pages.
 * No template for Resources - free format.
 * Need to improve Activity template to include Simple and Complex

Comments:

Needed? See discussion here (and previous comments), and consider the following process:

For now, I will settle on this template unless there are any objections within the next few weeks. Kim 01:36, 4 December 2008 (UTC).
 * Decide on a consistent template for each learning resource, design it and implement it across the relevant pages.
 * First idea: base it on WikiEducator's:
 * Otago Page Generator and templates it uses in turn.
 * Leigh Blackall's simple proposed structure for wiki learning pages.
 * Second idea: would it make sense to have tabs for Objectives | Activities | Resources ? The old WikiEducator nav templates would also work well.
 * Yes, I have implemented a template which is now in use on some of the pages (under Curriculum in the General" box see:
 * Introduction to Social Entrepreneurship
 * Understanding Developing Communities
 * Social Innovation, and
 * Sustainability.
 * A variation has been created with edit boxes - implemented on some of the pages ... (more convenient for most users). Kim 06:11, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Further variations have surfaced ... so, the pages may look different from your last look. Currently finalising a set of templates and themes. Kim 17:40, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Almost done for Intro pages, see Guidelines for Editors
 * To Do:
 * work in the width parameter for two and three box sections.
 * make similar themes/templates for activities and resources pages. Kim 08:58, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Maybe omit templates for resources for now. Activities templates under development - sample page.

Community Informatics
Submitter: Kim 16:45, 5 September 2008 (UTC) Date Completed: ... Comments:

Where should we put this angle? (ICT enabling community communication processes)
 * Under Tools which may become a separate section.

Themes
Submitter: Ktucker 20:11, 28 May 2009 (UTC) Date Completed: ... Comments:

Make some themes (colour combinations) for the templates (e.g. Template:Module Intro Page) - i.e. ....

Appreciative Terminology
Submitter: Kim 02:12, 4 December 2008 (UTC) Date Completed: ... Comments:

Check game narrative and discuss extent to which we need to think about this in relation to the underlying ethics of the game. In essence, the underlying theme could be asset based or appreciative - acknowledging and growing the positives and capabilities within communities, rather than emphasizing negative conditions or problems to be solved.

Consistency across the game framework and the wiki learning resources
Submitter: Ktucker 02:12, 4 December 2008 (UTC) Date Completed: ... Comments:

See:


 * SSE Game Narrative
 * SSE Quest Matrix


 * Possibly create game-related wiki pages which provide alternative routes through the learning resources.

SSE Game Narrative and SSE Quest Matrix
Submitter: Ktucker 25 December 2008 (UTC) Date Completed: ... Comments:

Restructure these pages for easy editing by users (adding quests and correcting/enhancing the narrative).

Old Navigation Templates
Submitter: Kim December 2008 Date Completed: Comments:

Remove them and check that all their pages are redirected to Portal:... and preferably removed (marked for deletion).

Clean up the Category:SSE To Do pages
Submitter: Kim December 2008 Date Completed: Comments:

Move them to this issue tracker and move this entry down only when there are no such pages left.

Closed Issues
Move issues here (below the line above once resolved)

Vision and Mission
Submitter: Kim Tucker 13:30, 12 September 2008 (UTC) Date Completed: ... Comments: Recently added to the About page Ktucker 09:01, 9 January 2009 (UTC).

Consolidate to make these clear on the About page. Discussion here. Closed for now. Reopen some time when suitable workshop occurs.

Template:SSE Full Page Intro: different theme for each box
Submitter: Kim December 2008 Date Completed: Kim 06:00, 9 January 2009 (UTC) Comments:

Implemented via Template:Module Intro Page.


 * Consider providing a single theme parameter which overrides the default theme (for non-subst approach or both) - done but if theme is applied, all boxes get the theme
 * - extend to permit different theme for each box (see Template:SSE Current Theme and consider a separate set of names for this - "uniform", "rainbow", "formal", etc.). Or perhaps names like "sandyblues" meaning combination of sandy and blues, etc.
 * Consider developing 'Template: Project Current Theme' vs separate ' Current Theme' templates (latter probably more efficient but need to be able to share themes). Perhaps have a general ' ' which returns a current theme name which can be sent to ' Box attribute|theme|attribute ' which returns a colour.

Tools
Submitter: Kim Tucker 22:31, 5 September 2008 (UTC) Date Completed: 20081204 Comments:

Should Tools be listed in each relevant section, or should we have a section on tools which may be referred to from various places?


 * Resources and Processes for Social Entrepreneurship is one possible place for Tools (move them from Putting it all Together (Social Entrepreneurship) and insert more specific references along the journey.

List Tools under Resources for pages which use the Module Nav template (e.g. Portal:Social_entrepreneurship/Curriculum/General/Social Innovation|Social Innovation). Kim 01:37, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

community "needs"
Submitter: Kim Tucker 22:12, 22 August 2008 (UTC) Date Completed: 20081204 Comments:

Is the term "needs" deficit based? If so, what alternatives?


 * "aspirations"?

IMHO (and after discussion with several people) the term "needs" is not inherently "deficit-based" and we simply need to be sensitive to context and how we use the term.

Output as "Business Plan"
Submitter: Kim 14:17, 20 August 2008 (UTC) Date Completed: 20081204 Comments:

How should we specify the final outcome for students? Discussion started under General and continued here.


 * Case Study
 * One of many outputs
 * Business Plan
 * An optional output possibly among others.
 * Outcome (i.e. don't specify)
 * Best so far, so we will settle on this one.


 * After some thought during the process it seems best not to specify a particular outcome for all projects.

Template:SSE Full Page Intro: check default theme applied
Submitter: Kim December 2008 Date Completed: 20081223 Comments:


 * Check that default themes are applied for the non-subst option.
 * Using subst results in a more flexible editable page. Currently, without subst, the generated page has fixed themes assigned via Template:SSE Current Theme. Need to check that these are consistently applied. This should only involve editing the template code within this template (but need to check).

Template:Tbwes: Default name space
Submitter: Kim 25 December 2008 Date Completed: Ktucker 08:54, 9 January 2009 (UTC) Comments: Solved via ':' :

Check that the editpage included and the 'edit' link to it are the same for pages in the Portal: and default name spaces. If not, how do we get around that and where? In Portal:Box-header ? Via : ... or : ... etc.?

Developing a Social Entrepreneurial Idea
Submitter: Kim December 2008 Date Completed: Comments: I suspect the sandyblueslate theme's background is not showing ... check ... if so, fix.

Fixed - removed quotes around colour value in SSE Current Theme Ktucker 08:27, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
