BitShares 2.0 Roadmap (for the next 4-6 months)

[Louis]

i'Ve also tried to get it a bit more responsive with hiding some of the columns with smaller view point width…

Since the color codes represent the status, you might also hide the status column if you need more space (just thinking out loud).

Maybe the "Estimated Time" column should read "Estimated Delivery", time could be taken as the time it would take to do the job and not necessarily when it will be delivered.

The "Name" column should read "Proposal Name" or just "Proposal"

I think that the darker rows might be too overpowering, how about something like this:

yep agreed > (ledgend) i will add on top ..

i was thinking also to highlight the progress state at left of each entry ..
(maybe we can also iconfying some sections .. )

[Louis]

No, the colors are not confusing, perhaps you should have a color ledgend somewhere specifying what each color means. Just a thought.

Thanks Cass colors look a lot better. Is there a meaning to the colors?

Those three color variations aim to distinguish between these there phases:
(1) Task successfully completed
(2) Task already funded but not completed yet
(3) Task not funded yet

If you find the colors confusing we can easily eliminate them by applying the same color scheme for all tasks regardless of their status.

One thing, could you specify on the Estimated Cost, if it's $USD or BTS? For example I believe you priced most in USD but on Open Source Graphene UI for BitShares the cost is 10M, I saw the github page and it mentioned BTS. People might get confused if they dont know the unit of the price (USD or BTS)

A good catch. I've created a pull request that adds currency units.

The github and forum tags hurt my eyes. that lightblue and white combination is not very good.

"This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below."
 

Sorry for the confusion - I've been making several attempts to achieve a robust solution, i.e. to have one roadmap XML file that can be shared across many different websites.

My initial intention was to have the raw roadmap data in this file:
https://bitshares.org/roadmap.xml
and then be able to present this data in different contexts, e.g.:
https://bitshares.org/roadmap.html
http://neura-sx.github.io/#roadmap

Currently those two websites are not in sync but they will be as soon as @cass accepts my recent github pull requests.

This thing is becoming something more than a roadmap:

This is the first we can look at a visual bitshares roadmap.  I am impressed!

Edit: @cass Is there a way to link it to bitshares.org?

(please ignore the colors - I have no talent in this respect)

The powerful thing is that it's all based on XML data so it will be really easy to keep it up-to-date via github pull requests.

e.g. a roadmap item looks like this:

Code: [Select]

<item progress="0.0" funded="Y" overlap="N">
<name>Refund market order creation fees</name>
<description />
<status>Funded worker</status>
<time>Nov 2015</time>

<terms>2M BTS paid over 40 days at 50,000 BTS per day. Bunkerchain Labs
will sell the BTS to raise $4400 and refund any remaining BTS to the
blockchain.</terms>
