Subject: [openstack-dev] Project Navigator Updates - Feedback Request
To: "OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions)" <
openstack-dev at lists.openstack.org>


Hi everyone,

We’ve been talking for some time about updating the project navigator, and
we have a draft ready to share for community feedback before we launch and
publicize it. One of the big goals coming out of the joint TC/UC/Board
meeting a few weeks ago[1] was to help better communicate ‘what is
openstack?’ and this is one step in that direction.

A few goals in mind for the redesign:
- Represent all official, user-facing projects and deployment services in
the navigator
- Better categorize the projects by function in a way that makes sense to
prospective users (this may evolve over time as we work on mapping the
OpenStack landscape)
- Help users understand which projects are mature and stable vs emerging
- Highlight popular project sets and sample configurations based on
different use cases to help users get started

For a bit of context, we’re working to give each OpenStack official project
a stronger platform as we think of OpenStack as a framework of composable
infrastructure services that can be used individually or together as a
powerful system. This includes the project mascots (so we in effect have
logos to promote each component separately), updates to the project
navigator, and bringing back the “project updates” track at the Summit to
give each PTL/core team a chance to provide an update on their project
roadmap (to be recorded and promoted in the project navigator among other
places!).

We want your feedback on the project navigator v2 before it launches.
Please take a look at the current version on the staging site and provide
feedback on this thread.

http://devbranch.openstack.org/software/project-navigator/

Please review the overall concept and the data and description for your
project specifically. The data is primarily pulled from TC tags[2] and Ops
tags[3]. You’ll notice some projects have more information available than
others for various reasons. That’s one reason we decided to downplay the
maturity metric for now and the data on some pages is hidden. If you think
your project is missing data, please check out the repositories and submit
changes or again respond to this thread.

Also know this will continue to evolve and we are open to feedback. As I
mentioned, a team that formed at the joint strategy session a few weeks ago
is tackling how we map OpenStack projects, which may be reflected in the
categories. And I suspect we’ll continue to build out additional tags and
better data sources to be incorporated.

Thanks for your feedback and help.

Best,
Lauren
