Talk:Current Tasks

This list of tasks needs to be vetted, as it has not changed in 3 years.

I propose the following tasks, loosely in order of priority:


 * 1) Appoint and announce the appointment of the new IT Director
 * 2) Creation of a new Drupal 7 based forum
 * 3) * ensure we have a proper github setup so others can contribute
 * 4) * testing, CI, etc
 * 5) Install the Election Plugin so that General Meetings can be held
 * 6) Importing the content of the previous forum
 * 7) Verify information on each wiki page
 * 8) Restructuring of the knowledge on the wiki, archiving old/unverified information and promoting new/updated information
 * 9) List of all PirateParty technical properties, active or not
 * 10) Cut or archive what is not crucial

The next thing that needs to be done is content strategy, which will be more in the realm of the Political Council. Now, we can do this next, or simultaneous, but in order to do it properly we will need the forum set up so that all strategizing is transparent and not limited by time (as it is on IRC). Content strategy includes:


 * 1) Create new communications strategy, ie. what belongs on:
 * 2) * public site
 * 3) * wiki
 * 4) * forums
 * 5) * irc
 * 6) * reddit
 * 7) * facebook
 * 8) * twitter
 * 9) * others properties...
 * 10) Determine the top 3-5 political topics of the day that require PPC commentary
 * 11) Put those topics into the forum for general member debate and research
 * 12) Craft messages for broadcast channels (eg. blog, Twitter, Facebook, etc)
 * 13) List up all important upcoming dates and post that in public view
 * 14) Debate party goals over the next few quarters
 * 15) Determine metrics and schedules and people responsible

This is a short list, and I can go into detail on how to accomplish these, but I thought I would propose it here for discussion. If I have missed anything glaring, please add it. However, keep in mind that we are working with very limited resources, and do not have time for the "Nice to haves". Post your comments below if you have access. If not, you can discuss it in IRC and have someone else post your feedback until we get the forum up and running.

Suggestions from others

 * User:Chad.kohalyk — a couple of people suggested adding the following NNTPBoard
 * User:Chad.kohalyk — additional task, with the resignation of Travis, remove his photo/pullquotes from Policy and update Leadership
 * User:Chad.kohalyk — clear up the following constitution and bylaws documents (should be the responsibility of the Constitutional_Refinement_Committee_Member:
 * Constitution
 * Constitution_2012-06-20
 * Constitution_2011-12-18
 * Constitution-Bylaws_Internet_draft
 * Constitution-Bylaws_working_draft
 * Constitution_and_Bylaws
 * User:Chad.kohalyk — also should determine what goes on the main site, and what goes on the wiki. For example, almost the entire About section is duplicated on the wiki.
