Re: Initial project scoping

[Stephen Augustus]

SIG PM would definitely be happy to help out with that!

Let us know when you have a proposal, Gaby!

I think that would be an awesome resource to have (and definitely attainable)! Do you think you could put together a brief proposal?

Hello,

Vallery, sounds like a great list!

For your point on user studies, one of the ideas I wanted to throw out there is putting together some sort of end user survey in a similar vein to StackOverflow's Developer Survey. I think something like this could be a fun kick off project that builds awareness of our SIG within the the end user community, allows us to gather a quantitative pulse of the community and also recruit end users for future more qualitative engagements. Is this something that we could collaborate with SIG PM on?

Hi there,

was thinking about a tailored experience based on the user skills/type. While Developers may be the primary actors we have other types of users who may benefit or have the need to use K8s and for them, the full experience is simply "too much" in terms of required skills, number of manual steps to configure/launch. We should look at a way to "help" those users. This  would require us to gather the personas and their user stories, maybe as part of the user studies topic?

Hi everyone!

Now that the SIG is real… there’s no end of work to do. And the first work is to pick what that will be. ;)

Our charter outlines general usability concerns, such as accessibility, internationalization, and user-friendliness/UX. I think we should start with tackling 1 project, maybe 2 (to leverage different skillsets + avoid having too many cooks).

Here’s some examples from the initial SIG formation combos, and some of my own thoughts:

• Creating common translation tooling for Kubernetes tool CLIs
• Look at translation shims for Kubernetes APIs
• Look at accessibility concerns and functionality (EG screen reader friendliness)
• Creating common internationalization tooling for Kubernetes tools
• Aside from language, many different conventions exist across cultures, like numeric representation, date format, orientation of text, etc
• Look at adding (noninvasive, user-gated) telemetry for future UX feedback.
• Launch user studies (especially user archetype data & feature/workaround requirements). This is a HUGE topic, and I especially look to Tasha and Gaby on this topic for their expertise. As engineers, we love to build things that we think should be built, and Kubernetes would benefit from a better understanding of its users. :)

I’d love to get some initial opinions + other suggestions!
