New interest: Webmaker

[Henrik Mitsch]

Hi Giorgos,

I am not sure if this is the correct way to request adding a new
interest ...

Can we add the interest "Webmaker" to our Remo Portal? This way Reps
with strong interest and/or ties to the Webmaker initiative(s) can point
this our very clearly.

Best regards,
Henrik
Mozilla Reps Mentor

Hi Henrik,

Thanks for your suggestion. We already committed that in dev and you'll
get it in a few days when we launch 0.3

Hi Giorogos,

I hope I am not pissing anybody off. My personal defect (overly
meticulous) had me propose additional categories.

I put it in the bug and reopened it. Hope this is the correct way to
handle such a late feature request?

Best regards,
Henrik

That's the way to do it, no worries ;)

There is some discussion though on whether we should include products in
the list. I believe that the idea is to have some high level areas
listed like Hive, instead of products like Thimble, popcorn or
collusion.

Maybe Pierros can also add something to this?

Thanks,
Giorgos

Hi Giorgos and Pierros,

thank you for your answer. I agree that it is a difficult decision
whether or not to include products in the list. Thunderbird is listed,
Firefox is not, ...

The list is called "Functional Areas". This being the case, maybe we
should put functional views on the Mozilla Foundation initiatives.

Borrowing from previous MozFest mottoes "Learning, Freedom and the Web"
[1] and "Media, Freedom and the Web" [2], I suggest to use categories
such as "Learning", "Media", "Video" [3]. Additionally I would add
"Webmaker" [4] and "Web Literacy" [5].

Here is a revised proposal for the interest fields:
- Hive Network --> Learning
- Open Badges --> Learning
- Hackasaurus --> Learning or Web Literacy
- Webmaker --> Webmaker
- Thimble --> Learning or Web Literacy
- Popcorn --> Video
- OpenNews --> Media
- Ignite --> Labs (already exists)
- Hive (changed from "Hive Network" to "Hive") --> see above
- Festival --> Webmaker
- Collusion --> Learning or Web Literacy

Any other opinions or comments?
Pierros, what do you think?

Best regards,
Henrik

2c,

Popcorn should stand for Audio and Video areas, it does a great job with
video and audio as well.

Leo

might I recommend that we list both audio and video separately. There
is more than just popcorn in these areas, some focused more on audio,
and others more on video.

Hey guys,

Keep in mind that we are not trying to capture *everything* we have in
Mozilla (or in Foundation in specific) just the general areas so that
we can easily identify people that are interested on those.

That been said "Learning" and "Media" (etc) are *way* too broad terms
to be added in a list of interest groups, and would hinter us from
identifying the individuals that are really interested in that areas
of MoFo.

Once we come up with something more solid than the one we have now
(Hive Network, Open Badges, Hackasaurus, Webmaker) then we should let
also Michelle know so she can give her feedback.

For now I am leaving 772954 open and re targeting it to Amanda (0.3.5)
