User:Isarra/OPW proposal

This proposed project concerns Flow. FLOW IS THIS MAGICAL THING, but a very brief description might help, beyond that Flow is a "game changing" project that is currently in the initial design phases, although that is probably something to mention.

Project itself concerns design documents. Something about taking high-level wire-frame documents and providing mid-level interaction designs and visual treatment mockups. Lots of skills. Broad context. Flexible timeline and goals.

General internship thingy working on a larger project.

Project overview
This is part of a grand plot to overthrow... uh... bad notifications and following and discussion structure and stuff and more stuff and how the hell do you even explain that thing?

But this part is some designy stuff with that stuff.

BRANDON HARRIS IS GOOD MENTOR and apparently Howie likes the project, though I'm not sure how relevant that is. Ori said he'd mentor generally and I'm sure I can drag him into this if needed. Also probably more relevant folks but sort that out later. (two mentors?)


 * Is there an emergency plan to be applied if the project is not completed by the end of the program?
 * Flow is big huge scary thing; completed aspects will be done so in the hopes that they will be useful, but with no guarantee of ultimate applicability. This project is simply a piece that may or may not pan out, but is expected to be a worthwhile investment wherever it goes due to the nature of iterative design.

Potential risks and concerns
Time commitment - mention of classes (part-time finishing university) and Uncyclopedia (UN:N, but seriously AAAAAAAAAA! because I'm seriously not a wizard, and okay, that's enough in-jokes for one line).


 * Is your plan realistic, leaving time for tasks like community feedback, testing, documentation...?
 * The plan is vague and will depend on how it proceeds. Given the mentor's experience and position this should not be an issue.

Applicant background

 * What skills and experience do you have to complete the project? URLs welcome.


 * Why are you interested in joining this program?


 * Have you contributed to Wikimedia projects in any way before?
 * Wikipedian and Commoner, and poke MediaWiki with a stick largely because of an unfortunate potato-driven bout of workaround-oriented programming, but also something about shiny things. Really shiny things. I love shiny things.
