- questions we need to answer first:
- is this part of drupal as a service? NO
- we need a dedicated host, not shared infrastructure
- Rich might host in cloud, but stand alone installation
- what is Rich's resource commitment?
- need to figure out funding
- could we get bumped by DCAD in terms of priority? NO, in the queue with everyone else
- what is Rich's timeline?
- 3 months (est)
- his resources are fully engaged right now
- would need to bring in a contractor
- funding for drupal resource (3 months@40hrs/week $110/hour)
- catalog building a drupal database for their data
- 2 systems with a bridge as opposed to same system?
- we can pull catalog into dev system and work from there
- or same system with different views?
- How long would resources be available for us as we learn things and as things change?
- his team doesn't have that flexibility
- what is the Service Catalog's timeline in terms of needing the data?
- Jan 2012
- is Rich open to this being malleable? YES in dev
- data model may change
- business requirements may change
- how flexible is Rich? How long would resources be available for us as we learn things and as things change? this? thats why we will play in dev to define
- can this be agile?
- according to Rich, drupal will not allow
- design from inside out
- catalog has defined their content types - share with Portfolio
- provide Rich requirements, data model and business rules about what data is to be held in the system Rich will come back with functional specs and what additional info he needs from usif we move forward with his team
- next steps:
- Rich has given us a drupal instance on their dev server for now (portfolio-dev@mit.edu) 18.9.60.10, so we could consider doing the following:
- flush out information architecture
- wire frame content types (fields on the page)
- develop content types
- relationships between content types
- Dave finalizing fields by next week
- talk with Garry about options if we go out on our own
- Pat get funding set up production environment- table for implementation project
- get production environment up (portfolio@mit.edu)
- talk as team about what direction to go in (Web Services vs on our own)
- need ability to do rapid prototyping
- Pat schedule working sessions starting in two weeks with Alison and Rich if we want to go with Web Services
- Rich has given us a drupal instance on their dev server for now (portfolio-dev@mit.edu) 18.9.60.10, so we could consider doing the following:
