[Wireframe review request] Communication Center
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Please share your comments, questions, concerns, suggestions about the Communication Center wireframe, either as a comment on this task or directly in Figma:

We are particularly interested in learning your questions/feedback about:

  • content of each page (what’s existent, what’s missing, what you don’t understand)
  • questions about behaviors of the different features
  • technical feedback
  • sub-pages you would be interested in us making wireframes on

We are not interested at this point in comments about the look and feel (unless these comments are from a technical/dev standpoint, especially if engineers feel a given feature is not possible).

Please check off your name here when done:

  • General: communication is not v0, so I might be missing some context here. However, the design suggests that we'd have our own messaging system, where you have drafts, recipient lists and a list of all the messages you sent. However, the result of T295903 is that we'll be using talk page messages and emails, hence leveraging existing features. Most things that I'm seeing here would instead require us to build something entirely new. Or maybe we could create an alternate frontend for talk messages and emails... Iffy if that's a good idea though.

Hi @Daimona we are trying to gather feedback beyond V0 here, sorry if that was unclear. Feedback from the organizers will help to build that long term vision & roadmap.

Sure, that makes sense :) My point is that I'm not sure how we'll be implementing communication (because it's not v0), so I feel that I don't have enough context to properly answer some questions here. Mostly, it all boils down to whether we'll be implementing our own messaging system, which is something I've never heard about.

Got it! let's see how organizers react to this idea, but it definitely feels like one of the hardest nuts to crack, if indeed we want to go down that road.

Implementing a new messaging system will definitely be a huge undertaking -- both in terms of technical implementation and also getting buy-in, since it will have a lot of features overlapping with the existing mass message feature. I am super curious to see feedback from organisers and understand the gaps that mass message is not currently fulfilling. I wonder if it will be easier to improve upon existing tooling to fill those gaps rather than to build a new solution.

Implementing our own messaging system will be really a huge work.
I am curious to know more about "Distribution List" and "Social Media"
