Hi,
I would like to start working on Flex showcase :
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-33907
This is how I intend to proceed:
1) Find a place on the web site home page to host the showcase link.
- Desktop App / Mobile Apps boxes on the home page lead to the same content, so
that can be merged, IMO
- Put the "showcase" section in place on the mobile section (3rd box)
- The "showcase" box will include a "showcase" icon (I will design it), a link
to the future "Tour De Flex" and a link to the showcase page.
2) Showcase page:
Plan: start with a very simple structure, and improve / extend it as the
number of show case item increases (and as time allows)
a) The initial structure will be plain html / CMS content
- List-based showcase items
- Date of submission
- Title
- Description
- Flex version/platform used
- Company/author web link
- Screenshot if provided
- Live Demo and/or Video link if provided
b) Eventually, the showcase app could become a flex app itself, or be embedded
in Tour de Flex. That would allow to add the following features:
- graphical navigation in show cases (mosaic, cover flow, etc.)
- Ability to submit directly showcase apps
- Rating / starring / voting by peers
=> See for example: http://www.silverlightshow.net/Showcase.aspx
3) Lists of apps that have been already submitted:
FLEX-33673 Showcase TrafficLIVE AIR Application
FLEX-33691 Showcase - My Dojo for Dota 2
FLEX-33828 Showcase bCommunities - Secure B2B Collaboration
4) Questions:
Can I start now, or is it better to wait until TDF and ADC are donated, so that
we can make all the changes in one shots
WDYT?
