Hi all, As mentioned at the bi-weekly community meeting, the team at Preset is planning to sponsor an engagement with design agency Cartel <http://carteldesign.com/> to assist the community in defining what the future of Superset may evolve looking like. The folks at Cartel (cced) are specialized in designing data-heavy, highly-interactive applications like Superset.
The effort will take place over September - October - November, and for that engagement we'd like to assemble a small interest group (6-8 people) that can help shape the direction of this effort, from across the community. We'd like for the major contributors to be represented, and for representation to be roughly be based on merit accumulated so far. The folks at Cartel told us they've had much better success working with smaller group so we're trying to respect that. People who want to get involved should: * be able to commit 2H+ a week over those 3 months * have a history of involvement in the project, merit and/or merit representation * a deep understanding of the product * design sense + good UI / UX intuition * understanding Superset use cases and users We'd also like to be able to communicate progress throughout the process and offer a way for the people from the wider community to provide feedback. One or two people in the interest group will be in charge of communicating in and out as we move forward. The interest group will define what areas to focus on and the deliverables as we engage with the agency. My personal intuition going into this is that we'll prefer to go wide and shallow as opposed to dig super deep into a small set of specific area. Though we'll likely focus on core-ux workflows like content creation, and tying up the different pieces of Superset together. We may explore new areas like spreasheet-type interactions, notebooky-type interfaces and things of that nature as well. In any case, expect to see lots of wireframes! We do not intend for the designs produced during this engagement to be an absolute for the future of Superset, but instead as an inspiration and guiding material to build upon as we work on individual PRs. Anyhow! Please reach out if you're interested or have feedback on the process. We're intending to report progress on the mailing list as we go. Thanks, Max
