People Involved

Emily Dirsh (emily AT glittergallery DOT net)
Mo Duffy (duffy AT fedoraproject DOT org)
Rohit Paul Kuruvilla (rohitkuruvill AT yahoo DOT co DOT in)
Sarup Banskota (sarup AT glittergallery DOT net)

Brief History

One fine day, Máirín(Mo) wrote this blog post[2] about her idea of an open collaboration space for FLOSS designers world over. At a GNOME UX hackfest in London soon after, a bunch of designers got together to discuss what would later become Design Hub. Emily and Mo came up with an early hacky concept and presented it at the Libre Graphics Meeting[3] 2012 in Vienna[4].

Sarup joined in 2013, Design Hub grew to GlitterGallery and went from idea to prototype. Sarup presented GlitterGallery, at the 2014 edition of the Libre Graphics Meeting held in Leipzig[4]. The proposal is to make GlitterGallery available for FLOSS designers to use, in a way that it fits into their workflow without involving much git-fu. In 2014, Rohit joined GlitterGallery as a GSoC student. He worked on improving the project's Git-centric bits.

There have been several contributors to the project since: https://github.com/glittergallery/GlitterGallery/graphs/contributors.

-== About GlitterGallery ==
+== About this WikiPage==
-GlitterGallery will be an amazing way to collaborate on design!
+This page contains information on the GlitterGallery project's association with the Fedora Project, an ongoing effort by the Fedora design team to ease collaboration among FLOSS designers. For general information about the project itself, you can look at it's documentation on the GitHub wiki[1].
-The goals are to allow designers to easily share their work, gather and parse feedback in a useful way, and version their work just as developers are able to.
+[1] - https://github.com/glittergallery/GlitterGallery/wiki
-GlitterGallery will be somewhat biased to support SVGs from Inkscape, and to work with the magicmockup rapid prototyping program. That doesn't mean it won't work with other filetypes, though!
+== People Involved ==
-== History/Background ==

+* Mo Duffy (duffy AT fedoraproject DOT org)

-=== An awesome commenting system ===
+== Brief History ==
-Possibly the most important component of GlitterGallery is the way it helps understand feedback. It would useful to be able to support a commenting system that both provides socialization to some extent, while providing a way to distinguish useful feedback from the rest.
+One fine day, [https://twitter.com/mairin Máirín](Mo) wrote this blog post[2] about her idea of an open collaboration space for FLOSS designers world over. At a GNOME UX hackfest in London soon after, a bunch of designers got together to discuss what would later become ''Design Hub''. [http://twitter.com/Emichan Emily] and Mo came up with an early hacky concept and presented it at the Libre Graphics Meeting[3] 2012 in Vienna[4].
-Things to work on in this direction:
+[http://twitter.com/SarupBanskota Sarup] joined in 2013, Design Hub grew to GlitterGallery and went from idea to prototype. Sarup presented GlitterGallery, at the 2014 edition of the Libre Graphics Meeting held in Leipzig[4].

-* Likes/+1s/Upvotes for the comments. We need this to be implemented in a way that the entire page doesn't need a refresh.
-* Threaded replies - let people reply to replies and so on.
-* Mardown editor: currently, the comments support markdown, it will be really useful to provide with buttons to press for people who aren't used to writing in markdown. This feature can also be carried over to Glitterposts.
-* Mark as issue: this is a very important area to improve on. It would be useful for the author of the project to be able to mark a particular comment as an issue - this could be transferred into the tracker for someone to work on.
-* Overall UI - make the comment boxes expand as the user enters the comment, etc. Enable easy identification of project owner through tags or differently colored comment boxes.
-=== An issue tracker that works in sync with the commenting system ===
+There have been several contributors to the project since: https://github.com/glittergallery/GlitterGallery/graphs/contributors.
-Things to work on in this direction:
+[2] - https://mairin.wordpress.com/2010/02/13/random-idea-for-design-collaboration-tool/
-* Sync comments to issues. When a user reports a comment as an issue, maybe it's a good idea to ask the user for some more information about the comment before checking it in as an issue, or maybe it isn't. Think what would be better in terms of UX.
-* Allow project owners to let people take up issues.
+[3] - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libre_Graphics_Meeting
-* Allow refences on commits/pull requests, just like GitHub does.
-* Integrate this with the user's email and in future, the GG notification system.
