End of iteration 0 / start of iteration 1

(copied from the mailing list)

OK, I think we can call iteration 0 closed and move on to iteration 1. Your coaches for this iteration are, once again, me(skud) and shadowspar. If you've got any questions or need help with stuff, you can contact us directly or, of course, send something to this list.

So to wrap up iteration 0, here's a summary of tasks completed.

2: twitter account icon - small - 1 point
3: placeholder website - medium - 2 points
5: community guidelines - medium - 2 points

Not completed:

4: dev website -- the coding was all completed and merged, but it didn't get deployed in time so sadly it doesn't count.

So, our velocity was 5 points. I suspect we'll do a little better next iteration!

Here are my suggested tasks for iteration 1:

4: dev website (finish deploying! me and the sysadmins on this I think)

6: signup/login (cesy and I were talking about pairing on this)

13: website should be attractively styled (aka the Zurb Foundation story; I've already agreed to work on this with randomling)

14: footer links on website (anyone want an easy rails task? a good easy/beginner level story)

Additionally: move the wiki to Mediawiki on our own server. (Should this actually be a story? Probably.)

I don't think there are any other stories that are easy enough and have few enough pre-reqs to work on this iteration, but if anyone is already experienced with Rails and/or database design, the crops page might be a good one to take on. Or we could wait til the next iteration, but do some prep work/"spikes" (see: http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?ArchitecturalSpike) in the meantime, to figure out how best to go about it.

Would you like to work on iteration 1?

Is there anyone who'd like to work on iteration 1, who I haven't yet spoken to about what you might like to work on? Speak now, and tell me what sort of things you're interested in and what timezone you're in, and we'll see if we can match you with a story and someone to pair with.

(Things you might like to work on: rails development, graphic design, wiki/documentation stuff, sysadmin/devops, database schema/structure, probably other things I've forgotten.)
