Labour Platform Technical SketchingMap out the prospective uses and user workflows in terms of the functionality that the project's software architecture will need to support.

COOP-3 - Getting issue details... STATUS

https://wiki.fluidproject.org/x/4gC_CQCreate a "cooperative analysis" of existing platforms, tools, guides, and other resources related to (or opposed to) platform cooperativism. This research will provide a baseline of knowledge around the current state of platforms—from a design perspective.

COOP-5 - Getting issue details... STATUS

User Experience Mapping - Platform Cooperative Development ToolkitCreate a series of design sketches that map the overall user experience workflows of the Platform Cooperative Development Toolkit project from the perspective of different users and prospective co-op members, founders, and supporters. These maps are intended to help map out the design problem space for the project, and are intentionally provisional and lo-fi during the early stages of the project's co-design.

COOP-7 - Getting issue details... STATUS


Examine the source code and architecture of existing platform tools and open source cooperative platforms to determine if and how they can best be used to support the project's labour platform and governance tools.

COOP-6 - Getting issue details... STATUS


Create a website where prospective contributors (especially designers and developers) can learn more about the project's software toolkit and get involved in helping us build it.
