Overview

This is our general outline for IT Production Acceptance. More details are available at http://wiki.mozilla.org/Design/CreativeCollective.

Start of project

Name each of the following:

Overall goal of the project

Create "community design hub" (actual name TBD) that will serve as the central location for members of our visual design community to share their work. This site will combine elements of other sites like DeviantArt, Threadless and Digg to help us build our design community and spread Firefox-themed art around the internet.

Any pre-requisites needed (technology, server capacity, staffing, monitoring, response time, etc)

image uploader
image view page - larger view of image, info about designer, ability to rate design, comments section, possible link to Community Store
backend database to host images
connections to Community Store where appropriate...for example, if someone is uploading an image they should be prompted with a "would you like to add this to the Community Store?" (and vice versa on that site)
user registration...people can create accounts to comment on & rate design projects
ability for people to rate favorite designs (could be a simple thumbs up system like Digg, or a 5 star system like YouTube), and have the order of designs be sorted accordingly
ability to create a "job board" of sorts, where people can post design their design needs (ex. "I need a flyer created for my Firefox download party in Buenos Aires")
ability to hold regular "design challenges" (sort of like mini-contests)
ability to tag designs or place them into different categories (wallpaper, posters, personas, etc)
ability for users to sort designs by popularity, recency, category, etc
Share This functionality so people can post favorite images to Digg, Facebook, etc
I may be missing some things here...will need to do a tech review with Morgamic to make sure I've got it all. Am hoping we can repurpose some of the functionality that was built for the Community Store.

Initial timeline (note: very rough)
