Design

I'm happy to see a designer find the way here - welcome! :)
Most of us are only good in coding, so if you need something like a group here or so... I think that will be doable. And if you might take a organizing or forward-pushing role on the design front, we won't say no. :D

Thank you for the link ! As it was 11 months old, I thought it was best to start again, but I wrote an email to Pablo.

There's also this proposal to create a UI task force. It'll be good to have another designer on the team!

I'm definitely in if it's okay, but we need somewhere to discuss. Diaspora doesn't have groups, and just going with PM:s won't work as we can't add more people to them. Discussing everything on Loomio isn't an elegant solution either, and I think we're safe to assume that not all want to go over to fb or G+. I'd say we open up a github repo or something :)

That would be good... or use a combination of IRC and the wiki at https://wiki.diasporafoundation.org/Main_Page (you could create pages as you like as long as you don't mess up existing things and maybe have some sense when naming them).

Great !
Don't you use Slack ?

As far as I know nobody here uses slack.

Use what you like... but a self-hosted or maybe well etablished solution (like wiki, irc) would be more safe to use than a service that may be shut down or unavailable without having some influence in that.

@faldrian The beauty with github is that one can comment and discuss issues, PRs and commits :) irc channel will probably be needed. Could we have a wiki-page referring to the design docs that are being written on github?

You could also have a wiki page in the official wiki describing and advertising your endeavour for fellow designers, pointing our where to find your github-repository and IRC-channel and participate. :)

I'm all for using github for this... :)
