cosecha-app's Introduction

Cosecha Organizer Portal

This is so far an experiment at creating an online tool the Cosecha Movement. This site uses Meteor with React as the templating framework.

Project Specs

This is a list of how we plan to build this thing.

Framework: Meteor.js

This is chosen because of its:

Ease of use
Easy to learn
Javascript in frontend and backend
It connects MongoDB and creates a local live-reloadable server for you

Templating: React

Over time, this may change to React Native, but for now, we will be using React and using Cordova to make it accessible via a Android and iOS apps.

Hosting

Need to make a decision when deployment time comes. For now there are two main options:

Digital Ocean
Modulus.io

Timeline

This will really depend on if any people would like to join in the effort, but as of now the goal is to come out with a BETA release (something that is ready to be used) by June 17, 2016.

Development Team

Workflow

Right now the workflow is fairly simple, considering it is starting out as a team of one.

Over time, however, a more sophisticated worklow will have to be adopted. We are preparing for this by at least not committing to master and using a 'git flow' model. Basically, the plan is to make a develop branch, and from that branch create feature branches.

We don't want to commit to master, now don't we?

After the development community grows in size, we can start using more sophisticated workflows. In the meantime, I will experiment with various tools and methods, trying not to mess up the ability to look back and see what was done in the past.

Support the Project

If you can't contribute with code, but want to contribute with other ways, here are three:

Become a translator
Become a tester
Donate for server and online tools expenses (Celso is currently taking on these expenses) We are not a non-profit, or a business, just a group of people trying build a tool for a decentralized social justice movement, with the hopes that it can one day serve other social justice movements.

Getting more done in GitHub with ZenHub

Hola! @celsom3 has created a ZenHub account for the Cosecha organization. ZenHub is the only project management tool integrated natively in GitHub – created specifically for fast-moving, software-driven teams.

How do I use ZenHub?

To get set up with ZenHub, all you have to do is download the browser extension and log in with your GitHub account. Once you do, you’ll get access to ZenHub’s complete feature-set immediately.

What can ZenHub do?

ZenHub adds a series of enhancements directly inside the GitHub UI:

Real-time, customizable task boards for GitHub issues;
Multi-Repository burndown charts, estimates, and velocity tracking based on GitHub Milestones;
Personal to-do lists and task prioritization;
Time-saving shortcuts – like a quick repo switcher, a “Move issue” button, and much more.

Add ZenHub to GitHub

Still curious? See more ZenHub features or read user reviews. This issue was written by your friendly ZenHub bot, posted by request from @celsom3.

Resource notifications

users can be notified when a matching resource to their need is posted nearby

Survey that captures basic information and how they want to help cosecha

This will have to be some sort of Welcome page where new users are directed. Also for users that have not completed the basic survey, they should get periodic notifications to take the survey.
