This post is a list of things that Accordius (and the GreaterWrong client) absolutely must have implemented on day 1 before an alpha release can be made:
- Unique branding, logo, CSS theme, etc
- Some kind of collaborative data editor, even if it's just Google Sheets in an iframe.
- Strong PmWiki integration, possibly federation protocol, transclusion, etc
- FAQ's/Tutorials on doing blinded experiments, etc. These could be written by us or found somewhere, but they need to be available.
- Clear statement of purpose/mission/goals/etc
- Short history of rationality/empiricism/etc to help contextualize the tradition that WhistlingLobsters inherits from
- Blind/Double Blind Experiment FAQ
- List of useful measurement instruments and where to get them
- Basic stats analysis tutorial
- Relatively complete markup set for use in posts and comments, markdown extensions/etc.
- Dynamic RSS Feeds (certainly at least RSS feeds, people want to be able to subscribe)
- Mod Tools (hopefully won't have to use them for a while, but they do need to at least be present)
- Ban model & API endpoint
- Actually prevents user from logging in
- User invite family tree/lineage data recorder and viewer
- Recorder
- Viewer
- Ability to make invites and sign up with them
- API Endpoints
- Make Invites
- Sign Up
- Tagging
- API Endpoint
- View
- Add
