Better Privacy checkpoint 2012-03-14
Summary
- We have a way forward for +manage-sharing
Soon it'll be much easier to buy a commercial subscription
- 14 day free trials are coming too
Entitlement
Our proposal to offer 14 day trials of commercial subscriptions went down well with PES. So, we'll be enabling that in the coming fortnight. Anyone who chooses "proprietary" as their project's licence gets a free trial without having to buy a voucher.
The link to buy a voucher is now also much more obvious.
- ACTION: [danhg] to work with Curtis on communications around the free trial and unhiding of the voucher link.
- ACTION: [purple] Release the free trial to production.
- ACTION: [purple] Check the free trial against the PES script.
Manage sharing
Two visions for the +manage-sharing page have been competing, lately. There are things we could do better/differently but we will spend no more time on the design of this page.
We have a design that has been through user testing and that is ready to implement. It may not be perfect but users have responded well to it and we expect this page will, initially, be used by fewer than a hundred people. Both design, research and engineering time can be better directed elsewhere.
Purple will implement the design that has been tested.
As an aside: we need to better communicate the team-wide ban on clickable prototypes for designs that have not been tested with a flat wireframe or mock-up.
Actions
- ACTION: [purple] Complete the person policy picker
- ACTION: [purple] Implement the +manage-sharing page
- ACTION: [danhg] Work with Curtis to perform user acceptance testing on the audit functionality.
