After breakfast on the second day the actual coding and building begun!
Each group drafted tasks and did a quick prioritizion. We had two short breaks for show-n-tells so that we could share what we had done and everyone could discuss, add-to and add further ideas to what each group had started.
The first show-n-tell was just before lunch and the second one was just before we called the ady quit at 18.00.
Here is what each group have done during the second Wintercamp day:
Tove, Lotta and Robert
Action points: Checklist in to Nansen Vault (Nansens internal knowledge share site). New customer cases written.
Erik, Sean and Rudde
Integrate the wireframe tool into the Encore installer so that it gets installed by default once a EpiServer project is setup. Batch scripts was also built that pushes and syncs code from the TFS to our preview server which is where our clients follows the status of the projects and wireframes we build for them.
Rudde also drafted the very simple proof of concept for building our own drag-n-drop functionality:
1. add dragndrop functionality using a framework like jquery or similar.
2. save the page DOM structure via javascript webservice calls to backend code. Simple in theory, but a lot of discussion and debate was focused around this at the show-n-tell later; is it with the hours put into it or are we just building ourself a maintenance-monster?

Show-n-tell just before lunch

The wireframe tool is currently in a "you have to know css and html"-state to be able to create templates and pages. This is an ongoing project, with one of the goals being to incorporate a drag-n-drop interface in the future.
Our main task was to look into the possibility to use a third party software or service to achieve drag-n-drop functionality when creating wireframes.
We evaluated Axure, Macaw (http://macaw.co/) and Webflow but they all lacked to option to create a custom library of widgets/modules where we could have 100% control of html, css and javascript. Axure is the most mature of the three but, unfortunately, we had to put the third-party-option on hold.
Rob and Arnold
That much concluded the second day … |
