Onboarding: Exon Nkemchor

[Exonkenz]

Overview

We need an unbiased review of the gather presentation so that we can improve it.

Additional Details

You will be working on guide during this issue, but the purpose of this issue is to evaluate and improve the Gather Examples and Interview Teams presentation.

• Any notes you have about the guide you will be making should be noted in the issue related to the Guide you choose.
• Any notes about the Gather Examples and Interview Teams presentation should be in the document you create.

Action Items

• Create a Google doc, with the name GT: Notes on Gather presentation - YOUR NAME HERE in the Gather Examples folder (customize with your name)
  • Add the link to the document and its name in the Resources section below
• Add to the notes document as you go, with observations about the Gather Presentation. You will encounter some issues, such as font size or other types of formatting changes, what we are looking for though is material changes to the instructions. For instance, if something could use a screenshot to make it clearer, and it doesn't have one or when you try to follow the steps, something is missing.
  • If while looking at the presentation (not the guide), you encounter any words that you think should be added to our glossary, please add them to the Glossary issue as comments.
• Review the Presentation for Gathering Examples
• Pick a guide
  • Note the Name of guide and URL of the guide in the comments below
• Use the presentation to work on the guide
  • Leaving comments in the presentation if you have a suggested improvement
  • Putting any notes about the guide either in the guide or in the issue for the guide (as appropriate)
• Clean up your presentation notes
• Present to the Guides Team

@Exonkenz The first item action items on this issue is to make a document to put your notes.

• Create a Google doc, with the name GT: Notes on Gather presentation - YOUR NAME HERE in the Gather Examples folder (customize with your name)
  • Add the link to the document and its name in the Resources section below

You have checked off the box, but we don't see your document. Please come to the meeting so we can help you with this.

[ExperimentsInHonesty]

Today we added the notes doc to the issue and reviewed the notes. Exon will write more details about specific actionable changes that he wants in order to make the slide clearer.

[Exonkenz]

I have left a clearer and more actionable step in my recommendations tab on my gather example folder.

[ExperimentsInHonesty]

@Exonkenz
Please see what I wrote in your doc

And the new slide I inserted.

We look forward to your feedback.

[Exonkenz]

The start of exercises slide is great because it prompts the new user of something that needs to be done. I think it is very clear and fixes the issue.

[ExperimentsInHonesty]

You can annotate your finding in the guides issue comments

[ExperimentsInHonesty]

[Exonkenz]

I've filled out the Excel spreadsheet with relevant design resource information as said in our last meeting.

[SheIsBukki]

@Exonkenz thanks for sharing your update.

[ExperimentsInHonesty]

@Exonkenz I am unlcear where you are in this process. There are more than 20 items on the issue, but only 19 items on the spreadsheet. Do you no longer think the other items in the issue are relevant?

[Exonkenz]

I have successfully referenced all other additional resources in the spreadsheet. I am at the process of creating a draft toolkit document

[ExperimentsInHonesty]

@Exonkenz I left you a comment on your issue hackforla/knowledgebase-content#135

[ExperimentsInHonesty]

Exon is going to pause working on the guide and work on slides in the gather presentation. He will write the summary of what they learned (as short as possible) and the section content slide.

• 41
• 43
• 68

[ExperimentsInHonesty]

Provided feedback and @Exonkenz is going to continue working on slides above

[Exonkenz]

I am done working on the slides and Bonnie has reviewed.

[ExperimentsInHonesty]

Go through the Gather presentation, looking for words that are not already in our glossary spreadsheet and add them to this issue hackforla/UI-UX#103

[Exonkenz]

I have included all the words from the Gather Presentation slide that needs further explanation and are not in the Glossary spreadsheet and have added them to Issue 103
