Sprint 0 stand up progress

#Current Planning

The website progress has been stuck for a little while, so we are trying to get a handle on where things stand and what is next to be done. Our current process has been to list out next action items at a stand-up hangout. After a week or so, we have another stand-up to check on progress. We check off the things that are complete and add next items. Thus far, the bulk of the workload has been on Jenny to implement. I have been organizing the tasks and writing this wiki to summarize.
list of sprint tasks and discussion items:

##Dec 3rd: We met over hangouts and made a first plan. We talked about the first steps to be done(Sprint 0), and scheduled the next stand-up for Dec 10th. ###Sprint 0: get everything set up

• github organization and permissions

##Dec 22nd: We discussed what work remained from last meeting and what we need to begin Sprint 1. This included a discussion of theme needs and clarifying workflow.

###Sprint 0b: discuss how to set up the WordPress site and decide what to do next.

• draw out PHPWomen workflow (J) w/ Combell and Github

    Development will be going to **master** branch and visible at [dev.phpwomen.org](http://dev.phpwomen.org).  
    This is a breakable branch. 
    The live website will remain at [phpwomen.org](http://phpwomen.org) and will remain at the **production** branch on github.
  

• upgrade WP version (J)

    The local development copy has the WP version updated and Jenny will upload the local copy to dev.phpwomen.org for us to begin working on.
  

• set a default theme

    We discussed:
    What does the site need?
    pages, blog posts.  buddy press should be able to pick up the theme details.  
  
    Would PHPWomen be more of a magazine style?  
    If we go with image-heavy, we have to collect and provide images with posts, which would require a lot of time and trouble.
    Would like to go with something less image-heavy.
  
    **Lovecraft** has less image-focus.  
    Want to remove the sidebar.  
    Footer has links to the content highlights.  
    We'd like a slightly magazine-style front page that pulls forward the highlights of the site with curated content.
  
    Purple-fy the theme just a bit.
  
    Could include another page for user groups where PHP Women attend.  
  
    Header image ideas: maybe a box of elephpants (all colors) or pile of phpwomen stickers.  
    Could offer a contest to see who can get us the best photo(s).  If we had more that one good one, that would be nice to keep the page fresh. 
  

• webhooks (J)

• write up a bit about process/what we are doing and Why (E)

###Sprint 1: begin working on the WordPress site What's next?

    The plan is to begin the new year with a dev site running on PHP7, updated WP, and LoveCraft theme with webhooks set
    People will be able to code on it.  
    Our next meeting is planned for January 7th.
