<div>It looks like there was a lot of activity on the UX project last fall but not much since. I'm confused by things like
<a href="https://blueprints.launchpad.net/openstack-ux/+spec/horizon-navigation-enhancement">
horizon-ia-improvement in the UX launchpad</a> and <a href="https://blueprints.launchpad.net/horizon/+spec/navigation-enhancement">navigation-enhancement in Horizon</a>. What's the difference between these two? I think UX should be it's own project for sure,
but what do we do about redundancies like this? How do we make it easier so new designers can pick up work and be confident the blueprint they are working on isn't outdated or duplicated in a different project? Also, how can we prioritize the blueprints to
help people select the work that is most needed?</div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Hi Jacki,</div><div><br></div><div>Great questions. So…there definitely has been some redundancies between Horizon and the UX projects. I think what we’ve been trying to do is make sure the design pieces are completed in the UX launchpad project blueprints and the development is done in Horizon. The “Navigation Enhancements” that they implemented this release in Horizon was different from the ultimate IA Improvements that we’d like to see. I think eventually, once this design is in a good spot, we’d create a blueprint in Horizon for the development to happen. I think if we end up with a group of designers working on Horizon or any other component in OpenStack we might want to consider a weekly sync up meeting. There is an assignee field on the blueprints too and it’s generally known that if this is blank, anyone should feel free to pick it up and work on it. Of course, they should review it with other designers when they have a good first draft. We can definitely go through an prioritization effort if you think the current priorities don’t make sense. </div><div><br></div><div>As a side note: This is all very new since it’s only been a few of us working on specific things, so it’s very much an early process that can be updated and changed as needed :)</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Liz</div><br><blockquote type="cite"><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; ">

<div>I'm asking these questions generally, but also for myself, as I'm finding it hard to figure out what's what!</div>

<div>There is already a UX project in launchpad that we should take advantage of here. I think it’s the first step to get everyone working on UX stuff together :)</div>

<div>You’ll notice there are already blueprints for the work we had planned to do early on for horizon personas, triple personas, and user community testing. Additionally there are blueprints for things that we’ve talked about like IA improvements and navigation
enhancements are already here. Please feel free to edit these blueprints or take ownership of anything that you might be working on that doesn’t have an owner.</div>

Hi,<br>
<br>
Would there be interest in having a personas project in Launchpad?<br>
<br>
This would have a few benefits:<br>
* Source control to version control the various documents we'll be<br>
working on<br>
* Bug tracker to enable issue tracking<br>
* Committers would be considered ATCs and get Design Summit invitations<br>
and free Summit passes, where we can attend & evangelise Personas to<br>
developers<br>
<br>
Using Launchpad for the third benefit is kind of a hack - there's no<br>
good way to get official recognition of time & effort spent working on<br>
personas (and other non-technical subject areas like marketing,<br>
documentation), but using source control to track things provides a nice<br>
easy way to do so.<br>
<br>
Anyone interested? If so, anyone know what's involved?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Dave.<br>
