The Learning Series: Drupal 8 - Let's be friends Part 5

So...what did we do in Part 4? We went over MVP, took inventory and got a clue on where we stand in the build. What was proactive? We on-boarded user accounts with creds to do stuff.. sweeeeeeeet. Nicely done! So.. what do we do for next meetup? Simple... we Q/A what users were asked to do. Is it all going to be perfect? Nahhh. But that's OK. Hector has been named the Lead Dev. My new role is the lead PM. Yep, you're going to hate me. But... welcome to the real world of dev and data modeling in Drupal. So what's the plan for Part 5?

1: Q/A delegated tasks out to the new "Site Builder" permission bucket. As the lead PM will I make Hector's life ugly? Maybeeeeeeeeee. Will I hone-in on user contributions? Count on it.

2: Clean up/fix/re-architect/delete if needed.

3: Build out views. But.... we aren't in a real theme yet. We're still in Bartik. That won't work. Adaptive Theme and the AT tools module. Learn it, love it, live it. Hint hint. Anyone willing to step up and teach Adaptive Theme and AT Tools? Theming as a site builder. Echo echo echo.... Let's wrap the Event bundle and account for all child content types, Entity References and child nodes.

4: Did we talk about Functional Spec and Business Process Document? Sure did! Are we on path? Hector? You own it!

Planned launch date for Alpha 1: October 12, 2016. (AKA MVP Launch)
