Introduction - what is the index?

Primarily for a design audience, to:

• introduce the service/products/project
• it's history / current phase
• link to the prototype(s) - behind accounts
• link to other sources of useful information - behind accounts

User need

As a designer joining the project/service team I need to get up to speed with:

• context - why are we doing what we are doing now
• where is all the stuff i need to be immediately productive
• all the other stuff i may need, a bit less urgently than right now

Principles

• be public by default, only protect information when necessary (marking when information is behind an account, who is allowed, and how to get access)
• provide a means of contact

Content

Content to include

• background to the service/product/project - perspective a designer needs
• how to contact people (but not names, email addresses, or any other personal information)

Content to link to

• screenshots (in gallery.io)
• prototypes (do not include username/passwords)
• user research / needs
• other useful project/team information - to enable a designer to be productive on day 1
• contact details - for this app or the team
• you can link to information behind an organisational account

Content to NOT publish in the open

• peoples names and other personal information
• usernames and passwords
• gov or organisational branding
• anything 'political', or contentious - think: would I be prepared to say this openly on the internet?

To Do

• come up with a better name / description of what this app is
• consider other user needs - for example we believe this content to be useful outside of the design community
