2 Requirements

Lists of requirements per cycle will be written down here.

Requirements need a thorough description - or you might end up having something completely different developed than you expected.

# FPD :: New front page design

We need a new front page design. It needs to provide more room for information and look a bit more modern, too. It has to provide in the following sections:

  1. A rotating set of images
    promoting certain aspects of participating in our research projects.

  2. Information about finished projects
    promoting information on research projects that are finished.

  3. Some fun projects
    that people can do for fun or pleasure, like a game, or an intelligence test. These tests should give you feedback right away.

  4. A subscription promo section
    promoting the importance of subscription to the site.

  5. A list of current research
    with open slots/space for subscription, providing a taste of what's inside.

  6. Facebook integration
    through so called like-buttons that pop up wherever a research project is mentioned.

  7. Twitter integration
    through automatic tweets whenever a research project is added to the site.

  8. Twitter integration (2)
    through share buttons, allowing visitors to tweet the research projects to their friends.

UvA Guidelines

In addition to that, the design needs to follow certain guidelines provided by the Bureau of Communication at the UvA.

# IMR :: Image Rotator

We need a place on the front page that shows rotating images. It should also provide space for a tagline or a small description of some sort.

# TIY :: Test It Yourself :)

We need some tests that we have publication rights for, and that we can use as fun projects or teasers for visitors.

Key is that we should be able to generate immediate feedback on a visitor's test results.

# FBI :: Facebook integration

Everywhere on the front page where a research project is mentioned, a Facebook "like" button should be added. This way visitors can share their participation experience with their friends, possibly generating more site traffic.

# TI1 :: Twitter integration by share buttons

Under all research project descriptions, a "share-on-twitter" button should be added. Allowing people to share the link to the project on Twitter. Possibly generating more site traffic by visitor's followers.

# TI2 :: Twitter integration by automation

New research projects, news articles, site updates, etc. should be promoted via Twitter automatically.
