Project title: Update Central Notice Banner Wizard
Brief summary:
Central Notice is a tool used by Wikimedia communities to advertise events, activities and other content to Wikimedia communities similar to other banner advertising systems on the internet. However, it relies on banners that are infinitely customizable in terms of design, but need to meet a range of design and content specifications to be effective and not disrupt Wikipedia reader experience. In the course of this internship, the Outreachy Intern will evaluate existing designs and best practices for Central Notice Banners, learn about user requirements for the banners, and update or rebuild an existing web app to a more modern design with a collection of different customizable banner templates. If time allows, the student may get a chance to contribute to other Central Notice technical needs.
Skills required:
- CSS
- HTML
- Javascript
- Responsive design
- UX testing
- Web design best practices
- Understanding of W3C accessibility guidelines
Learning outcomes:
Student will learn how to
- Abstract best practices in design from Central Notice banners and implement that in a web app.
- Learn how to test user experience for banners templates and web app production, to ensure ease of use by a diverse community of users.
