[oslc] Community Digest, Vol 26, Issue 3 - OSLC Website Suggestion

[Bob Parro]

Hi David,



I am currently involved in an effort to develop an OSLC integration with a third party tool to DOORS 9.3 (the first OSLC compliant version). We have made some progress but have hit a wall with finding guidance on the core functionality of accessing specific DOORS data. Thus, my suggestion for the website is to place a full example of implementing the protocol in the context of a third part tool, initially for RM, but eventually for all of the core disciplines.



By the way, any guidance you could provide to help us overcome the barrier we are facing would be most appreciated.

Thanks,

Subject: [oslc] Ideas for improving Open-Services.net website

Some of my colleagues at IBM have been discussing some ideas for

improving the OSLC community website at open-services.net. They've

identified some problems with the current website that could be

limiting the adoption and thus, the success of OSLC. They suggest that

content on the main pages of our site is not engaging, too static and

geared solely to the needs of specification writers, who are important

but perhaps not as important to OSLC as tool developers, end-using

developers and decision makers.



My colleagues have time/resources to devote to website work, and good

ideas for improvements and new features, but since OSLC is a community

effort, the OSLC community mailing lists are the place to discuss

changes to the website and the right place to coordinate those who

wish to work on improving the website. So, to start the conversation

here are some initial ideas for improving the open-services.net

website:



* Create a simpler user experience

* Provide more videos and links to other OSLC activities

* Provide some business content on how useful OSLC is for integration

* Links to other community initiatives

* Developing a work item tracking model and flow

* Encourage community contribution of their achievements with OSLC

* Video?s

* Tech-notes etc.

* Capability to subscribe to certain events

* Mouthpiece to drive community to build certain integrations, e.g.

OSLC ?Hackathon? etc.



Do you have ideas on how to improve the OSLC web presence, or feedback

on the above ideas? Do you have some time to devote to helping to

develop a better web site for the OSLC community. If so, please

respond here and let's get the conversation started.



Thanks,

Dave
