I realize it might be hard for others to understand what I'm doing right now and how this is supposed to look like at some point in the future. I have actually started to do basic layouts for the content areas of some subpages (new entry, edit entries, comments) of the backend. I think this is a good idea since it really showcases the needs and weaknesses of the current markup and styling. Problem is, I keep running into stuff which needs to be fixed in the markup, so I'm moving very slowly here.Don Chambers wrote:I'm a little uncertain of what I can be working on.
You could think about and maybe prototype visual ideas. Doesn't have to be a full featured backend design, smaller “design modules” can help as well, e.g. “how could buttons look like” or “how could the dashboard look like”.
About the best you could do right now, and I realize this is also the hardest part, is figure out a good concept for the media db. Workflows, layouts, designs etc. Because I'll probably save that for the end again since it really is not a fun job …
You could, of course, also dig into the code and help out with quality assurance, markup consistency etc., but that might take some time to grasp what I've done so far, even with the hints in the codex document …
