What do we want from a D&D website?

Convener: Seth Honnor

Participants: Angie Bual, Morven Macbeth, Sarah Jane Rawlings, Sam ?, Kirsty Lothian and several others.

 

Summary of discussion, conclusions and/or recommendations: 

• Publishing PLUS engaging in conversations
  • Publishing online is greener 
• People may use an open forum online to list shows etc – how to control this?  
  • Profiles at the centre of the experience are good. 
    • Then on a report like this you could drill down into the biog of the convenor and the attendees. 
  • We discussed whether we should force people to use a twitter account to log in with.
    • We decided we could encourage this as much as possible but wanted an alternative. 
• Should articulate clearly between Open Space and D&D
  • Resource pack for D&D and link to external OS Wiki for OS
• We talked about the brand of D&D being slightly protected – bit like TEDx but encouraging people to put them on. 
• Events section for D&Ds but not for shows or anything else. 
• We talked about having locality based communities but decided against it.  
• Session notes pinned to convenor (pos opt out) and option to receive email notification on new comment to their session notes.
  • Plus a “tell me if someone comments on this session” box for logged in users. 
• Rich content for posts – vid/sound/image
• Short readable url strings. 
• Capturing twitter conversations and posts but also archiving them somehow??
• Decided we wanted moderation after posting not before with flag this post/media/content function
• Could there be a way to see trending reports?
  • Recent Comments? (although anything date related can look dead if it’s a long time between live events and usage has dropped off a bit) 
• Function for D&D community to write invitations important
• We discussed we thought tagging was vital. We would like to see the ability for any logged in user to tag a piece of content – then that list of tags is also associated with their profile (so appears in their profile)
• Mobile friendly version
• Explore Disqus as option for commenting as can link to twitter and facebook ids Telegraph and CNN use this.
