Technical Goals of the New Zealand Collective

The technical goals for the New Zealand Collective:

Solidifying programmer coordination
- Find the right way of communicating, through Wiki, CS Groups, the BT, the mailinglist
Developing coordination with non-technical feature development parts of the CS organization
Getting more programmers trained and involved
- See Programmers
Improving the site
- Fixing the most annoying existing bugs
- Making the site as secure and reliable as possible
- Developing new features
Starting long-term technical projects locally to be continued after the collective
- examples?
- Could be as simple as assigning responsibilites for specific parts of the site or sub-projects for people joining the collective based on their interest and ability, continuing accountability beyound the collective.
- One example: Ride-share subsystem (or any other of the frequently requested features) could be drafted out at the collective with the help of local non-tech participants and relevant branches of the off-site organizational structure, while finishing the code and maintaining it could continue after the collective.
