@Erioldoesdesign

In the community meeting held on May 5th 2021 we talked about what we want from our jobs section and form.

The jobs section of opensourcedesign.net can be improved in multiple ways.

This is now an Epic issue that will collect all issues about the 'Jobs' page underneath it.


What community members suggested for the Jobs page in terms of improvements:

  • Better structure for the form for jobs 'original posters'.
  • Clearer in form support for the jobs 'original posters' as they fill in the form.
  • Clear and accurate form validation for job 'original posters'
  • Ability to have more than one contact method
  • 'Contributors' have a clear set of steps to contact the 'original poster' of the job that is clear and easy to follow for any designer regardless of proficiency with OSS and comms platforms.
  • Keep the feature where a new job is automatically cross-posted to the discourse forum.
  • An easy way to see the status of a job for both the 'original poster' of the job and any potential 'contributors' to the job.
  • Easy way to update the job that doesn't include editing the .md file in the jobs repository.
  • Review stage for the job so that abuse of 'contributors' or 'original posters' is avoided.
  • Include a notice that states that jobs that are open and unchanged/not commented on in a time frame (agreed by OSD community, suggest 6 months - 1 year) then the job post will be automatically closed.

We welcome further comments on improvements to the job page as we grow this epic.
